I am having the same exact problem!
the error that I get is:
Unable to connect to the database:Could not connect to MySQL
I was able to install it on other hosts before, but I liked zymic better, can anyone please help me out?

i am almost 95% positive that the problem for me is with the host for the database...
for those of you who have successfully installed joomla! 1.5 could you be kind enough to share what you used to fill in the host box?
i've tried localhost, but my guess is that zymic's mysql application is on another machine(server), but of course i could be wrong.
if any of the admins know this, could they provide the IP address of that server so that we can use it in conjunction with joomla!
please get back to me ASAP, and thanks in advance!

localhost is correct for the host.
If you check out the database forum (where this should have been posted) there is one solution for this problem. Try making a new database and username that are less than 4 letters in length.
Eg:
Database: yoursite_db
User: yoursite_a
That seems to fix the problem for a lot of people. Try it and see if it works for you.
