Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: The Infamous ‘Error establishing a database connection’Actually our problem was much simpler, sort of. 🙂
For whatever reason, MySQL won’t recognize localhost but does the IP of the server. Hey, I didn’t set up it. 🙂
Thanks to everyone for all your help!

In reply to: The Infamous ‘Error establishing a database connection’I’ve passed the OLD_PASSWORD tip along to our database admin.
I’m a little confused by Otto42’s note. We are using PHP5 and MySQL is working with it. Could there be another problem?
Anyway, I’ll update when we’ve tried the OLD_PASSWORD method.

In reply to: The Infamous ‘Error establishing a database connection’Nope, the quotes match, no extraneous spaces.
Is there some sort of debugging mode that would show exactly where the code is choking?

In reply to: The Infamous ‘Error establishing a database connection’Except that I don’t think the problem is covered by the three questions. Let me describe what I did and maybe that will make things clearer.
I used the following command line to check on the MySQL user:
mysql –user=NSBlogger –host=localhost –password=xx NSBlogs
That worked with no errors. So I cut and pasted the information into the wp-config.php file but WordPress wasn’t able to make a connection.
