AA,
According to the docs (http://docs.moodle.org/en/Installing_Moodle#Using_a_hosted_server or http://docs.moodle.org/en/Installing_Moodle#Using_the_command_line as the case may be), when you create the database user for Moodle to use for database access, you need to grant that user all rights to that database, including index.

LH,
In researching this issue I have found that the error you got, which is a MySQL error, has come up over and over again for the last four years, both in this forum and the Tracker, especially among users of the Vietnamese and Japanese languages, probably because they use more bytes per character than European languages in UTF8. What puzzles me most is that in the references I looked at it was stated that the latest versions of MySQL have a 1000 byte limit, not 500, as the older versions did. The docs specify to use MySQL version 4.1.16 or higher; you are using 5.0, yet you are running into the 500 byte limit. The only later version I am aware of is 5.1.
So my suggestions are:
