Hey guys, this is most likely a database problem.
I was trying to setup G2 and I keep getting stuck at step 5 (database setup)

I did not have a database installed so I emerged mysql. I went to start it using /etc/init.d/mysql start, and it told me to run something, so I ran it and after I did I was able to start it. Then, I ran the two commands that I was supposed to....

mysqladmin -uroot create gallery2

mysql gallery2 -uroot -e"GRANT ALL ON gallery2.* TO username@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password'"

and I go back to the install, hit save and it just keeps me on that page.

What should I do to make sure that the database is installed correctly?

I'm also using gentoo + mysql. I've emrged phpmyadmin to admin mysql.

Could you run the two commands successfully? (create db, grant all on...)?
And did you change "username" and "password" with the actual username, eg. "root" in the second command?
If you have problems executing these two commands, google may help:

And what does "it just keeps me on that page. " mean?
No warning, error messages?

I installed phpmyadmin and it didn't work either and the link it brought me to when I tried using it said it was me not having a mysql module for php, so I re-emerged apache, mysql, and php with the mysql USE flag and it works now.

Thanks
