    hey folks. I can’t seem to establish a database connection when installing WP 2.0.6 with MySQL 5.0.27 64-bit on Mac OS X
    i have entered the correct user, password and dbname into the config file, which is otherwise unmodified, and i can log in to mysql as that user/password from the command line and sucessfully do a “use db <dbname>” command, but the install.php says it can’t connect to the database at all. it’s a brand new install, not an upgrade. any ideas?

    I’ve since tried going back to 4.1.9 32-bit, and my old databases, my old installation of WordPress 2.0 on a virtual host that responds to ‘localhost’ in the apache config. And still nothing. Again i can log in to mysql on the command line and do stuff as the username given to wordpress.

    Mac OS X does something stupid with localhost it seems: use 127.0.0.1 instead from PHP.
