That was one of the first things i checked for cause that is a common oversight and that still wasn’t the problem

I am still having the same problem and even phpMyAdmin is coming up with a blank page instead of the admin page

i have to remember how to check versions since i have not used linux in a few years i have to get used to things again

not sure I am using fedora core 3 with whatever it came with

i even tried using root to configure it all so everything could talk to each other but to no avail still same message

it should they are both running on that machine i am using fedora core 3 with php and apache and mysql enabled all are running the site url that wordpress is https://www.cloudchaos.com/wordpress/

Here is what i get on my page

Error establishing a database connection

This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at localhost. This could mean your host’s database server is down.

* Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
* Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
* Are you sure that the database server is running?

If you’re unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your host. If you still need help you can always visit the WordPress Support Forums.

here is my config file

<?php
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘db_name’); // The name of the database
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘*******’); // Your MySQL username
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘******’); // …and password
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value

// Change the prefix if you want to have multiple blogs in a single database.
$table_prefix = ‘wp_’; // example: ‘wp_’ or ‘b2’ or ‘mylogin_’

// Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding MO file for the
// chosen language must be installed to wp-includes/languages.
// For example, install de.mo to wp-includes/languages and set WPLANG to ‘de’
// to enable German language support.
define (‘WPLANG’, ”);

/* Stop editing */

define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__).’/’);
require_once(ABSPATH.’wp-settings.php’);
?>

and my password and username are fine i use them to get into mysql and i also just set up that dbname so it should be fine i even rebooted the server and restarted that db
