I'm in the middle of my first manual install of Umbraco (v4.7.2) on a VPS and have hit the dreaded 'Database Connection Initialisation Failed' error. There seems to be an abundance of posts on this problem but I haven't found a solution to my own problem yet, so hopefully someone can spot where I'm going wrong.
Based on what a lot of people say on this problem, there doesn't appear to be any permissions issues as '/install/?installStep=filepermissions' reports that my permissions are perfect and whenever I fill in the connection details, even though I still get the error, these details are added to connection string in my web.config. I've also tried manually updating the connection string in the web.config but I'm still getting the same results.
I created the site using IIS6 Manager and have used MySQL Workbench to create the new schema, is there anything else to configure in MySQL Workbench after a new schema is created? Is there a way to associate the site with the database prior to this?
Database configuration with MySQL Workbench
