Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: PHP OK, but “Error establishing a data..” on MacI forgot to add that I did go through h**p://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php after my reinstallation to automatically set up my tables, and then to wordpress/index.php.
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: PHP OK, but “Error establishing a data..” on MacI found a solution for “Error establishing a database connection!”, although it was not related to a problem with permissions or my wp-config.php file, as macmanx suggested.
I had been using MySQL 4.1.7 (as I wanted to be up-to-date), and decided to erase it and use the CompleteMySQL 4.0.21 installer which I had seen mentioned in the MacZealots WordPress installation comments. On doing so. I immediately had access to phpMyAdmin at localhost (using ‘root’ and my MySQL password), and after adding a new database ‘wordpress’, I could access http://localhost/wordpress/index.php with no problems.
After reading more closely the upgrade instructions for MySQL 4.1.7, I see that there seems to be a way around the password bug/problem, but as I have it up and running, I might leave that until later.
Thanks for all of your input and taking the time to respond.Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: PHP OK, but “Error establishing a data..” on MacThanks for the feedback.
I actually used the MacZealots instructions to set the whole thing up and as MySQL did everything that it was supposed to (according to MacZealot), I assumed everything was OK. As far as creating the basic tables, I thought that was done automatically when accessing install.php.
I read somewhere that one has to deliberately link the owner with the DB, but more than this, I don’t know.
I’ll read around some more and then maybe take up ryanduff’s kind invitation.
Cheers.
