Installation Issues

  • New to WordPress and seem to be spending more than 5 minutes on the install.

    I’ve created my database in mySQL with a user name and password that I am well aware of. When I go to the /wp-admin/install.php, I keep getting the “Error establishing a database connection” message. I’ve tried just about everything — expect the correct solution. I would appreciate any and all help.

    I read in a previous message about being firewalled by port 3306. Any suggestion would be appreciated! Thanks!

  • Hey, I’m getting the same problem. I just changed hostname in the config file to 127.0.0.1 and it got further along. I don’t know why hostname and 127.0.0.1 would behave differently.

    Now I’ve got a Can’t select database error.

    Off to debug,
