solved, but very hokey…
ok, i removed php 4.4 and installed php 5.0.4. then in php.ini i uncommented extension=php_mysql.dll and voila.

Hi Class,
yes, from the command shell.
however, since then i’ve installed the mysql administrator and i’ve checked and re-checked schema privileges for the user, schema privileges for the localhost connection, etc.
from the command shell and the mysql administrator i can login to mysql using the exact same username and password that i specified in the wp-config.php file, etc and yet i continue to get this ‘error establishing a database connection’ message.
the only other variable is the db_host and i’ve tried every permutation possible incl. localhost, 127.0.0.1, blog, blog.domain.com, 192.168.1.163, and still nothing.
any ideas?
