tried to use the install instruction to create a database
using

mysqladmin -u dba_user -p create drupal
but when in check it to see if it exists , using "use drupal " command" I got database not found error.
the way i wrote is
mysql> mysqladmin -u dba_user -p create drupal
reply
mysql>
then i put

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON drupal.*
TO nobody@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
i got
Error 1044 : Access denied for user:'@localhost' to database. can somebody point my errors.

If this is what you did, then you made a mistake: you need to connect as user with administrator rights:

mysql -u ADMIN -p

where you have to replace ADMIN with your administrator name. Afterwards you are asked for the password.

Now you are connected to mysql and you can perform the following operations:

mysql>create database drupal;
mysql>GRANT ...

The command mysqladmin has to be used without beeing connected to mysql, means outside the mysql> console.
