Version: wordpress @2.0.4_0 (active)
Platform: Mac OS X 10.4.8
Installation media: macports
Dependencies:
apache2 @2.2.2_1 (active)
mysql5 @5.0.27_0+darwin_8+server (active)
php5 @5.2.0_0+apache2+darwin_8+macosx+mysql5 (active)
Steps:
– mysql passwords changed
– ‘create wordpress’ command given
– symlink created from my DocumentRoot/blog to wordpress
– ‘AddType application/x-httpd-php .php’ added into httpd.conf
– wp-config.php command has been edited
– phpinfo checked to verify that mysql is supported
Problem:
When I try to access https://myserver/blog/wp-admin/install.php, I get ‘Error establishing a database connection’ blah, blah, blah.
If I try to run ‘php install.php’ from command line, it would be more than glad to continue into second step. If I try to access wordpress with “mysql5 -u root -p -h localhost wordpress” from command line, all works beatifully.
Any ideas?
