you may be doing the same thing I did the first time -  On the configuration screen for your database connection details you need to use the domain creds - rather than DB user that you setup when you setup the DB.

So try using the same thing that you sign on to your domain with.

On the configuration screen for your database connection details you need to use the domain creds - rather than DB user that you setup when you setup the DB.

llegrand, please explain what you meant. Where did you used domain? in address bar of your browser or domain as hostname of database?

This was used during the install process.  There is a screen titled Configuration where it asks for
Database Host: I used localhost
User: this is where to use the user of the domain (not the one set for the database)
Password: this is where to use the password of the domain (not the one set for the database)
Database Name:  whatever you named the database when you set it up
Database Prefix:  Mine is blank

This is what worked for me.  Hope it helps and clarify.

doesn't matter..Tried using proper credentials [as used in setup of DB] andit kicksme back to theFirst install page[license agreement]. Other variations result in sign-in error --make sure host, db etc are correct.

Sam,  just to be sure we're communicating - it's the same user and password that you use to log into your Cpanel or FTP into your domain? 

Not what you used to setup database after you were logged into your domain.

I would check with your hosting company to confirm these credentials are correct. Important to check  database host.
