Hi, I am trying to install NextBBS, but I have a problem when the installation comes to Check Database Settings  

i got  

Checking various database settings and user's privileges. Failure! - You need to change your settings before proceeding any further.

Have you created a database in your hosting control panel?

I'm having this same problem, and I've already created the database and user.
I can query the database, create tables, etc. through both PhpMyAdmin, and straight through a PHP script (using mysqli).
I can't see any reason why it won't work.
I've tried both AdoDB, and Pear::DB.
It's a Linux host (CentOS) with PHP 5.2.1 and MySQL 5.0.27
