Wordpress - Error establishing a database connection
Hi guys, I have been trying to get wordpress up and running for about a day. I followed the wordpress guide exactly, then found i needed to provide an updated PHP, which i obtained from ReadyNas...
OMFG!
I transcribed localhost:/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock from the last test file into wp-config.php so it looks like this.
and now the wordpress install screen is working. :D :D :D
Hopefully this has solved the issue and had something to do with the syntax/dialogue in use getting PHP to talk to MySQL.
Can't believe i jagged it lol.......

/** MySQL hostname */
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost:/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock');
