I’m having the same problem.
Yahoo says the db is running.
phpMyAdmin is … “inscrutable” is the nicest term I can use.
Tried various versions of this:
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘mysql’); // The name of the database
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘admin’); // Your MySQL username
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘******’); // …and password
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value
Also tried changing db_host ‘localhost’ into ‘mysql’
