[Serusers] Can't create ser user

I'm trying to build the tables needed for ser in mysql, through the ser_mysql.sh script. This script asks me for a passwd, after the passwd, he gives the following error: ERROR 1007 (HY000) at line 1: Can't create database 'ser'; database exists. I'm entering the ser user passwd but i can't get it to work. I tried to create the user ser at mysql with the following command mysql> create user ser password mvx But it gives the following error: ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'user ser password mvx' at line 1 I'm using mysql version 4.1.7 ... What am I doing wrong ? -- Felipe Martins Linux System Administrator Tep Solution Provider Mundivox Communications Rua Lauro Muller, 116/Sala 505 RJ - Brasil - 22290-906 Tel.: 55 21 3820-8839 Fax.: 55 21 3820-8844
