I did some further testing regarding this issue as follows…

Im hoping that this isnt a problem with apache. Ive done a bit of checking into my config files and all seems to be normal. (This is starting to bore me why the hell it works with a capital L.

It seems it must be a problem with the code as I can connect to the target database with the same user name.

1. Make a clean install of the wordpress-2.3.3.tar that I downloaded from https://www.www.remarpro.com

2. Copy the files to a new subdirectory to compare with my working install

3. Go through all the default files checking for any caps mistakes

Ive tried both solutions with a clean and modified db (sql dump) from a previous install that worked no prob with the host name “localhost” not “Localhost”

Wow! Same problem here… I wasted hours on this. Id like to know where the problem lies… One small capitalisation of a letter in the code for the latest release? or a problem with 10.5?

jonokane, how did you find out?
