Problems installing Alfresco on x64 running Centos 5

I have tried reinstalling Alfresco five times now on my Centos 5 x64 machine using the instructions from the Wiki "Installing Alfresco Community WAR on Centos 5" with no success.  Tomcat works fine (tested with the sample application), but Alfresco gives me the 404 error message with the following printouts.  The MySQL database seems to be working (I can log in) but it doesn't seem to be populating the alfresco database with any tables.  I rechecked the MySQL configuration file and the passwords and permissions are set up right.

Appreciate any help

Is that the entire exception stack trace you're seeing in the logs?  This might be a permission (GRANT) problem in MySQL, but if so I would expect to see a SQLException further down in the stack trace.

Cheers,
