Problems installing wordpress

  • Hello,

    I’ve edited the config file, created the table (or at least I think I did) on PHPmyadmin and I’m getting an “Error establishing a database connection” page.

    I’m not too sure what I should do,
    Anyone?

  • check your db username/password & mysql server address

    I had this same problem because I created the user with the host=’%’ only. I created the same user with the same password with host=’localhost’ and it worked.

    From what I understand host=’%’ enables that user to logon from any remote hostname, not necessarily the local one.

    I’m not sure if my explanation is correct, but it did work once I did this.

    EDITED…

    Found the problem, fixed it, new problem:

    Turns out, my host uses an older MySQL version and they are now updating, though the tech guy tells me it’s a matter of MONTHES…

    Turns out that I can’t get to level 2 of the installation due to the MySQL server not being 4.00

    Is there anything I can do or am I stuck until they update my specific server?
