ERROR: Your MySQL user (qfr713) needs the CREATE VIEW privilege

ERROR: Your MySQL user (qfr713) needs the CREATE VIEW privilege. Please update the user permissions and try this step again. Contact your hosting provider if you need assistance.

I can install PowerStore. The alone database has an user and he has all the privileges

Hello,

I feel your pain! Browse to see other threads that show other users got caught out with this too. There appears to be conflicting advice concerning the type of hosting account required.

1+1 seem to be a hosting company that WA recommend but I've emailed them to see if they can accomodate WA's updated system requirements for PS3 but I've heard nothing back from them. So, I'm at a dead end with it.

Hope you have more luck than me. Sorry.

You will need to update the permissions of the user to allow the create view. Here is the info from the FAQ section of the PowerStore 3 support page:


Q: How do I give my Database User Account "Create View" privileges?

A: If you cannot modify the Create View privileges from within your cPanel or phpMyAdmin, you can manually run a SQL script to add this function.

Note: For many shared hosting accounts, this will not work as the Hosting Provider may have disabled this functionality entirely.

Within the SQL script dialog window of your database management tool, run the following script.

GRANT Create View
ON [db name]
TO [db username]

Replace [db name] with your Powerstore 3 database name.
Replace [db username] with your database user account.
For more information on assigning user privileges: sql-grant-revoke-privileges-roles.htm.

Thank you, indeed my supplier has the disabled option

There are many good hosting solutions out there that will allow you to make this update. I would suggest that you look around to see if any fit your specific needs. This has also been updated in the system requirements to avoid confusion.
