MySQL: grant permissions denied for CREATE

Question

I setup a database & user along with grant permissions how I normally do and I'm still getting access denied and I'm not sure why:

[root@server23 redditonrails]# mysql -u redditonrails -p
Enter password:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 431954

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql> use redditonrails_development;
Database changed
mysql> create table test;
ERROR 1142 (42000): CREATE command denied to user 'redditonrails'@'localhost' for table 'test'

I don't believe your syntax is right. You're specifying:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON redditonrails_development.localhost

The expected syntax for db-level GRANT is: ON $db.$table. Based on this, you're only granting on the table named "localhost". Change to:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON redditonrails_development.*
