VirtueMart 1.2.0 Installation Troubleshooting
Here is one solution that most will encounter when installing VirtueMart 1.2.0.
After installation success screen, VirtueMart asks to click on one of two links that will finish the installation. The first link is ‘Go directly to store’ and the other link is ‘Load sample data’. If you get an error message after clicking on one of these links it is more than likely because you have a permissions problem. That is why the error will suggest to you to do a manual installation. This second phase of installation that VirtueMart uses must have write access to its configuration files. Listing the individual files goes outside the scope of this solution, but I will suggest, as a temporary and quick work around, to change permissions to (chmod 777) for both com_VirtueMart directories under the Administrator directory and Components directory and then change them back to their default permission settings. You must have FTP access or administrator access to your server’s files where you installed Joomla 1.5.x. This will allow you to complete the installation and continue with setting up your store.

PhpMyAdmin – How to Create Database Privileges
If you have access to root in phpMyAdmin then the following steps will you to grant ‘Create Database Privileges’ to any user.
1. Log in to your phpMyAdmin control panel as ‘root’ or as Administrator. The default administrator account is ‘root’, but depending on your setup it may be a different user name.
2. Once you are logged in you can either create a new user or use an existing user. Using an existing user, click on the Privileges link.
3. Click on the edit button next to the user that you wish to grant privileges to.
4. There will be two sections; the first is called ‘Global Privileges’. This is the section you want to focus on for the purpose of this tutorial.
5. Check off the permissions that you wish to grant to user. Be sure to check \'Grant\' or else you will still have the initial problem. Leave the ‘Resources limits’ at zero unless you want to place those restrictions in place.
6. Click on the ‘Go’ button in the same section. Be careful not to click on another section.
7. Verify user has privileges by clicking on the ‘Privileges’ link.
