Yes, I have looked them over. Theoretically I was trying to follow the “advanced” MacOS X tutorial, but I’m unsure if it is just outdated (my assumption) or that newer WordPress versions will not work on OS X (I’m trying to get 2.0.3 working, since it’s the version installed on the machines run by my hosting company).
Basically, I’m not sure if I’ve got something configured wrong, or if I’ve got unworkable versions of software installed (since there are conflicting statements in different places of the documentation).
Nobody has any hints? I’ve tried using mysql v. 4.1.21 as well with no luck, although now I can’t even get mysql to login with that user/password (after recreating the user and creating the database fresh).
