Check this out:
1. MySql works with root/ourlet46
***************************
mysql -u root –password=ourlet46
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 36 to server version: 3.23.58
Type ‘help;’ or ‘\h’ for help. Type ‘\c’ to clear the buffer.
mysql> show databases;
+———–+
| Database |
+———–+
| mysql |
| test |
| wordpress |
+———–+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
the wordpress database is there. the mySQL user is root and you saw password.
2. now, check my wp-config.php file:
*******************************
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘wordpress’); // The name of the database
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘root’); // Your MySQL username
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘ourlet46’); // …and password
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value
3. Check the result:
****************
Error establishing a database connection! This probably means that the connection information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect. Double check it and try again.
* Are you sure you have the correct user/password?
* Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
* Are you sure that the database server is running?
Help!
I am far from 5 minutes installation…

OK, now after reading another thread (Blank install.php) I found that I have the blank symptom, too: (The problem for me was that the ‘mod_php’ module didn’t have MySQL support compiled in.)
So, I followed advise and installed php-mysql.rpm matching my php version (4.2.2-17.2). Now, install works. But I have another problem:
Error establishing a database connection! This probably means that the connection information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect. Double check it and try again.
* Are you sure you have the correct user/password?
* Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
* Are you sure that the database server is running?
for sure, I have double checked my wp-config.php file, but with no luck.
any hint?
