Can’t get past error page on install.

    I’ve been trying to get up and running for a few days now without success. I have several databases in mySQL that I access with PHP. I created a new one for wordpress and I can access it with my existing PEAR based scripts. I cut and pasted the database name, username, and password into the config file. I double checked the permissions and they seem fine.

    I’m using Apache/1.3.33, PHP 5.01 Release 1, and mySQL 4.0.18, OSX Server 10.3.6

    Is this a compatible setup? Are there any config or ini files that need adjusted?

    What is the error that you are having specifically?

    That’s the problem. I don’t get any errors, just the standard cannot connect to database page.

    “Error establishing a database connection”

    It would be nice if I could find that page, so I could print out the parameters it is using and see if there is an error, but I haven’t been able to locate that page yet.

    Is there a design document or commented code available to look at?

    Just installed on my laptop.

    I’m using Apache/1.3.33, PHP 4.3.1 Release 1, and mySQL 4.0.15, OSX Server 10.3.8 using a copy of the wordpress files from my server.

    It looks like there is an issue with PHP5. I know that we had some PHP/mySQL issues when we upgraded on my server and they had something to do with hashing passwords. I had someone fix it for me and don’t know exactly what they did.

    Does anyone know what config settings/steps are necessary to run on PHP5
