Am trying to install Plogger and having some mysql issues. My db name is 18 characters long and my db is not local.

When I enter the details during installation, I get the following message :

Cannot connect to MySQL with the information provided. MySQL error: Access denied for user '****************'@'A.*.***.**' (using password: YES)
Cannot find the database *********. MySQL error: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)

Obviously I have 'starred' out the real names, but it appears to be shortening the username to 16 characters and also trying to connect to the local host not the remote host.

Is there anyway to get this working ?]]>
