That worked! Thanks iVoltage!

I reinstalled OS X Server 10.4.1 fresh, updated it, started the web server, enabled PHP, installed MySql from the Mac GUI tool that comes with OS X Server, created the database, created the users, and I still have the same Error establishing a database connection problem. ??

I’m still not having any luck. Apple has not got back with me yet. I”ll post on here if I find anything.

Look what I found:
https://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301457

When running MySQL and PHP on the same Mac OS X 10.4 server, you may find that PHP cannot connect to MySQL. When PHP is communicating with a MySQL server on the same host, it uses a socket file to communicate, and looks for it at /tmp/mysql.sock. On Mac OS X Server 10.4, MySQL creates this socket file at /var/mysql/mysql.sock.


define('DB_NAME', 'wordpress');
define('DB_USER', 'root');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'pa55w0rd');
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');

imac:/ mj$ mysql -u root -p
Enter password:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 9 to server version: 4.1.10a

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql> use wordpress;
Database changed
mysql>

I have a feeling there is a problem with the 4.1.10a. I had problems in the past with MT running on my Xserve.

I used a differnt user, but I’ll give root a shot.

I just tried that, I still get the “Error establishing a database connection” page. I can connect to mysql with the same username and password from command line and from aqua data studio.

I have the same problem, but I’m using Mac OS X Server 10.4.1. I’m using MySql server version: 4.1.10a that came with the O/S. Any idea how I can get wordpress to work? Thanks!
