Bitcoin Forum

I am still new to linux in grasping it.

I started building a Maxcoin pool using MPOS and the instructions found at - http://forum.max-coin.net/index.php/topic,11.msg17.html
I am stuck at the database section it asks to create a db and use the following command:

grant all on pooldb.* to ‘pooldb’@‘%’ identified by ‘PUT_A_VERY_STRONG_AND_LONG_RANDOM_DB_PASSWORD_HERE’;

When I do this I get the following error:

ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that the corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '%' identified by 'my-long-password' at line 1.

I am using Unbuntu 12.04 up-to-date and using the info on the page I linked above I used the commands it provided to install MySQL, so I am not sure if it installed a newer version that doesn't support this command or if the person who wrote the tutorial f'd up, IDK. I have tried following up in the other forum but looking at the messages it looks like its become a dead forum.

If someone here could help me I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
