Thanks for your great idea!

Turns out MySQL was starting in safe mode (from php.ini), therefore blocking MySQL connections.

Thanks!!!! SO MUCH!!!!!!

I’m using 2.7 though. I downloaded it just tonight so it’s gotta be it.

I haven’t actually tested the database with any other php scripts. Let me give that a try and I’ll let you know ??

Thanks!

Thanks for the quick response!

<?php

define('DB_NAME', 'wordpress');
define('DB_USER', 'wordpress');
define('DB_PASSWORD', '<password>');
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
define('DB_COLLATE', '');
define('AUTH_KEY',        'a');
define('SECURE_AUTH_KEY', 'a');
define('LOGGED_IN_KEY',   'a');
define('NONCE_KEY',       'a');
$table_prefix  = 'wp_';
define ('WPLANG', '');
if ( !defined('ABSPATH') )
	define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');
?>

Here’s a screenshot of MySQL console:

That’s what the file looks like.. I can login to MySQL console perfectly with that. I really want to try this blog!

Update:

Managed to go a ‘step’ further by installing an earlier version of MySQL (mysql5.0.51b, was previously using mysql5.1.30) and now I get:

“Can’t select database”

I can login the console and select the database and do whatever though…

If I put on root as username and root’s password, I get the same thing.. ??
