Installing on PC problems

  • Have new phpdev toy .. will play.
    But, I can’t get it installed.
    php and mysql are in excess of requirements listed.
    define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘wordpress’); // The name of the database
    define(‘DB_USER’, ‘podz’); // Your MySQL username
    define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘podz’); // …and password
    define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);
    mysqladmin ini file says that the user and pass are correct.
    The server and mysqld-opt.exe are both running.
    I can create the db using phpmyadmin.
    I’ve tried install-config, and wp-config.php but no joy, all I get is “Error establishing a database connection!”
    I’ve tried the local IP address – 192.168.0.1 – instead of localhost.
    I’ve installed WP several times online without any problems at all, but I’m lost on this one …
    Anyone got a Clue Bat ™ they can hit me with ?

    I saw that assigning thing when I searched these forums, but despite all the searching on my system, I couldn’t see that option.
    I tried the on/off with apache too – no result..

    assigning is done from phpmyadmin.
    u make a database.
    u make a user id.
    u assign the user to the database giving it all powers.
    thats it!

    Oh ….. I’ll check that out.
    I’m uninstalling *everything* right now – I tracked it down to a wierd error that I can’t fathom.
    Much easier to start over ??
