   in an attempt to learn something more about databases and php i installed MySQL, got Apache running on my mac with OS 10.4 and downloaded WordPress.

   i followed a few tutorials about installing WordPress, but no luck.
   a little explanation here:

   note: i'm new to MySQL and PHP. if you think i need some more reading about these subjects first before installing and using WordPress i'm open for suggestions...

   thanks!

   I build and test everything new on a personal server and gone through errors like that before.

   But what specifically is the problem?

   If you are on 10.4.4 you might have run into this:

   Also, I remember running into some problems setting up and connecting to mysql and did
   mysql> SELECT Host, User, Password FROM mysql.user
-> WHERE LENGTH(Password) > 16; and set the password again as outlined here, which seemed to work.
