I've just installed EasyPHP and in the MySQL section I created a new user called "foo" and checked the box to give it all privileges. When I click on the tab to manage the MySQL user accounts the user "foo" is there. But it shows foo's level of privileges only as "USAGE", and when I mouseover that word it says, "no privileges".

So I tried to update the privileges for foo. But when I try to edit them I get the error

Interestingly, when I go back to the tab for user accounts and mouseover the "root" user it states

Maybe this is why it can't grant "foo" any privileges?

Any idea how to give "foo" all privileges? I'd like to use that as my development account.

PS At the bottom of that page there is a message that says: "

Could this be a possible solution, and if so, could someone share a link that shows how to change the MySQL privilege table manually?
