Needs something in there about db rightes.

carl@dell29:~/django/django-src/tests$ ./runtests.py --settings settings

Got an error creating the test database: (1044, "Access denied for user 'djangouser'@'%' to database 'django_test_db'")
It appears the test database, django_test_db, already exists. Type 'yes' to delete it, or 'no' to cancel: yes
Got an error recreating the test database: (1044, "Access denied for user 'djangouser'@'%' to database 'django_test_db'")

I am guessing the problem is:
DATABASE_USER = 'djangouser'
only has rites to
DATABASE_NAME = 'djangodb'

But the error message doesn't make that clear, and the docs don't say what is needed.

Thanks for the report - I'm working on it. Duplicate of #4692.
