Help me please! Database Creation Error re: localhost defaults

I'm installing 1.6 to a webhost and directory that has a different path than the default in Moodle, specifically for host server and user.  I've tried setting these in the \moodle\config-dist.php and then running the install script, but without any luck.

I'm at my wits end and need to get this up and running asap - where else can I change the defaults?  Or, what else might be causing this?  I've looked through the forums and see reference to this error, but never any responses

Michele,

You said you changed the settings in config-dist.php.  Did you copy  (or rename) it to config.php?  Moodle wants the real configuration file to be config.php.

No, I hadn't done that ... was thinking that this would happen automatically.  Anyway - thanks SO much for your help.  Got it up and working!  Yea!
