I have the same error when setting up WordPress and I am on Dreamhost.
I am very new to creating a website and to PHP and everything here in general and thought wordpress was a good idea for starting out. Just set up a domain name last week and went through the following setup guide:

I checked my settings for MySQL 5.0.21 and everything seems to be in order, just not sure what to do about this error since I am new to the environment. My ftp client is Cute FTP and seems to be working just fine as well. any help would be greatly appreciated. – thank you.
