Ientered the following values and no errors.

Please enter your MySQL server: localhost
Please enter your MySQL user: root
Please enter your MySQL password: mypassword
Please enter a name for the ISPConfig database: ispconfig_db

thanks.

Do you have any exotic characters in your mySQL password? If so, please change it for the setup. You can change it later in the ISPConfig config file.

Have you disabled "skip-networking" in your mySQL configuration? I(SPConfig connects via TCP sockets on localhost.

Before you reinstall, delete ispconfig_db or use an other db name for the next install, dont know if this can cause trouble
