   Hi,

   I am running WordPress on a Mac (iMac Intel core duo, 2G of RAM). The other day I installed a Mac security update and now suddenly I get the dreaded "Error establishing a database connection". I have checked the wp-config file and the username and password are OK; I know they're OK because I can run mysql client locally and see the database just fine from the command line. Everything's still there: tables, posts. But wordpress can't see it.

   I've power-cycled the machine, I've restarted mysqld, I tried punching a hole in the firewall at port 3306 (this never mattered before, but hey), I've tried changing "localhost" to my fully qualified domain name ... no joy.

   Please can anyone help??

   Ian
