Could someone with a working version of xwiki please execute the following
command in mysql and let me know what is returned.
*SELECT host FROM mysql.user WHERE User = 'xwiki';*
Thanks,
Oliver

  Thanks Sergiu,
 Seems I had misunderstood the "replace the matching properties with the
 following ones" in the xwiki mysql installation instructions. I think I
 have done this part correctly now. Unfortunately I have encountered 
 another
  exception (pasted below).
 I am guessing the following is the problem: message from server: *"Host
 'kokopu.ddns.net <http://kokopu.ddns.net>' is not allowed to connect to
 this MySQL server". *
 I'm doing this on FreeBSD. The main host is "kokopu" (192.168.1.7) and
 the
  entire xwiki installation is in a FreeBSD jail
(192.168.1.8).

 This is no longer related to XWiki, but to security rules on the
 operating system. I'm not familiar with FreeBSD, but I'd investigate
 either mysql access rules ("grant" commands) or firewall rules.
