thanx, but i review that like 10 times.. i don’t know what i’m doing wrong..
i uploaded the wordpress file to my website, in the phpmyadmin i used the blog1 data base..i got my name and password and localhost..
i wrote all that in the wp-config.php
and still nothing i get the same error.. 😐
Did you add the user to the database?
i’m using yahoo as my webhst.. but in the host when i create a user name it says localhost..
and yes in the data base i gave me al the priv to use the blog1, that the data base yahoo provide for wordpress..
i found the problem, just in case any one goes threw this
the problem was not to use localhost, but mysql as the host..
i kept it as localhost because wordpress said 99% change you dont have to change it.. i guess then Yahoo is that 1% left :)..
