Our situations may be a bit different. I was doing a PHP and WordPress install… During the WordPress install it asks for your MySQL connection information, so that’s where I entered it. You can manually set it in the wp-config.php file located in your WordPress installation directory.

Hope that helps!

kcristiano,

Thank you! Using the IP address worked. I had read a post about that earlier, but when I tried it before it didn’t seem to work. This time, I used 127.0.0.1 for both the web address and the MySQL host and that made all the difference.

Thanks again for your expertise!
