Error establishing a database connection
Hi,I get this error when I try to execute Wordpress install.php to complete the installation. Possible causes : Are you sure you have the correct username and password? Are you sure that you have...
I'm still there sorry...I checked that : PHP is running, the server is running, wordpress database has been created and I have access to it both from phpMyadmin and from the putty shell !
It's written (http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress#Using_phpMyAdmin) :
in Step 3: Set up wp-config.php
You can either create and edit the wp-config.php file yourself, or you can skip this step and let WordPress try to do this itself when you run the installation script (step 5) (you'll still need to tell WordPress your database information).
That's why I only specified :
define('DB_NAME', 'wordpress');
/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', 'wordpress');
/** MySQL database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'mypassword');
/** MySQL hostname */
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
and didn't modify manually all hoping that install.php would have help me for the rest......
