In reply to: Error establishing database connectionif whether phpsqladmin is there and where it is are irrelevant, may i sum up what i have done at yahoo small business:
i have created an mysql database with a database name, a username and a password
i have uploaded the WP files to the root directory
i have configured the wh-config.php in a way at DB_NAME, DB_USER and DB_PASSWORD i have used the same info as that i used in creating the mysql database.
at DB_HOST, i have put “mysql”, when going to wp-admin/install, it returned a blank page. i have also put “localhost”, same!
i’m looking for other ways to try, especially from current users of yahoo small business.
tks a lot!

In reply to: Error establishing database connectiontks again for ur reply.

i have read this.actually, it’s been just one tool, “phpsqladmin”. “mysqladmin” was my wrong spelling. sorry. (but i wonder why u got back on this, as u had already advised that it’s just a database tool (which i know actually) and has nothing to do with where the WP files are located.)
u r right with the word “usually”. in the case of yahoo small business, there IS an installation process, where, as a user says yes, yahoo puts the phpsqladmin in a directory the user creates.
tks again.
hope to hear from users who r using yahoo small business as the host.

In reply to: Error establishing database connectioni’m new to wordpress. planning to migrate from blogger.
i’ve subscribed to yahoo small business, the standard hosting package.
i dont know how to start.
i have opened an mysql database at yahoo. i have installed phpmyadmin at a subdirectory (unable to install it at the root!). i have downloaded the wordpress 1.5.1 and uploaded it to the root directory. i’m not sure how to configure the wh-config.php. at DB_NAME, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, i have entered the same info as i use in opening the mysql database with yahoo. at DB_HOST, i have tried both “local” and “mysql”. but when i go to wp-admin/install, i got a blank page. what should i do?
(i have tried removing the phpmyadmin while keeping wordpress, or uploading wordpress to the same directory with the mysqladmin, but all to no avail!)
pls kindly help me.
also, i dont know what to put at define (‘WPLANG’, ”); i do not need chinese userinterface, but i would write in english as well as chinese.
tks a lot.
