    That’s interesting. I had no trouble installing MySQL, and I had previously configured my OS X box’s Apache server with PHP.

    The only way I could see the MySQL installation being easier would be to abstract the command line interaction for those who aren’t familiar with a CLI. Still, installing MySQL is easy enough!

    AH HA!

    I read some of the reader comments on the MacZealots page. This one from “Patrick Lemmens” is interesting:

    Hi,

    It is possible to use MySQL 4.1.7 but they have changed the Password Hashing in MySQL 4.1

    WordPress doesn’t know about this but fortunately you can set the password in an other way so you can still use WordPress.

    Do the following: mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR -> ‘root’@’localhost’ = OLD_PASSWORD(‘password’);

    I tried that with my installation of MySQL 5, and now WordPress seems to be working fine!

    Yay!

    Thanks for the tips, folks!

    Thanks to both of you. I just tried the maczealots tutorial verbatim, and the results are the same. I had already tried the directions on the entropy.ch site.

    @miklb: I’m thinking MySQL 5 is the problem, too. I don’t see any mention of WordPress not being compatible with it on this site, but maybe the documentation is just slow…

    It’s 1AM for me now, so tomorrow I’ll have to try uninstalling MySQL and installing a previous version. Is there a version you would recommend? The MacZealots site says to use 4.0…
