Problems with OTRS, please help.

[Tesla]

I emerged otrs and it installed fine. I set up and started apache2 and
mySQL. I ran the installer.pl from apache and filled in the info that
was asked for and it created the database, tables and the user. I then
filled in the next set of data and it ran fine. I then restarted the
server and went to the index page, and it had this error

Error: Access denied for user: 'otrs@localhost' (Using password: YES)

I have tried creating a new user and giving the user full access but
that dose not seam too work. I think it might be a configuration problem
in mysql but I am not sure. It seams that apache2 can connect to the
mysql databaase as the root user but not a regular user.
