How do you choose to use a different user?
Ole
Here are the instruction I followed:
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo mysql
You will see something like this:
Welcome to the MariaDB monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MariaDB connection id is 71
Server version: 10.1.23-MariaDB-9+deb9u1 Raspbian 9.0

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the current input statement.
MariaDB [(none)]>
[Enter the following commands not including MariaDB [(noen)](Lines that start with MariaDB [(none)]> the other lines are the result)
Feel Free to change the userName(after USER) and password (after IDENTIFIED BY )]
MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE USER RaspberryPints@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'RaspberryPints';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
MariaDB [(none)]> grant all privileges on *.* to RaspberryPints@'%';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
MariaDB [(none)]> exit
Bye
Then open install/includes/configprocessor.php and replace all instances of "root" with "RaspberryPints" (or your chosen user name)
Also when install raspberryPints use the password RaspberryPints as the root password(unless you changed it from my command)
