• I have tried three times to install WordPress version 2.5 to my website hosted on Yahoo with no success. I am getting a bazillion errors, the first set of which are as follows:

    Now with Yahoo, the database host name is not ‘localhost’, but rather ‘mysql’ so I edited it in the wp-config.php file. However, the above errors lead me to believe that it is looking for a database host named ‘localhost’. Am I wrong? Does that mean something else? Is there some other file that I need to edit to change ‘localhost’ to ‘mysql’? Any other thoughts on what might have gone wrong?

    Thank you,

    Kirsten

  • Hi,

    To my knowledge the host must be a path (such as: ‘localhost’ or ‘mysql.whatever.com’)I had a site hosted with Yahoo and to install WordPress I used localhost and not mysql as a host. Also make sure you got your user name and password right, also make sure your user has all rights.

    Hope that helped

    Typically the database admin that you create in the Hosting Control Panel at yahoo is not given all privileges.
