# yet another wp-config.php problem.

 * So, I am managing my own server, running macos10.4. I have installed MySQL, and
   enabled PHP. I have created a MySQL user with full rights to my wordpress database,
   and I have confirmed that it exists and that I know it’s password via the Terminal.
 * But WordPress resolutely gives me the “No Dice” Error, it can’t find my MySQL
   server etc.
 * I have tried everything I can think of in the DB_HOST field, including 127.0.0.1,
   it’s internal IP (192.168.123.186), it’s name (henry-herndons-imac.local), it’s
   external address, and of course, localhost.
 * I have restarted, etc, etc, etc, etc….
 * I would like this to work!
 * Any insight?

 * Is there any chance that you could install WordPress via this guide? [http://maczealots.com/tutorials/wordpress/](http://maczealots.com/tutorials/wordpress/)
 * It will probably involve configuring PHP and MySQL again, but it has never failed.

 * I first installed MySQL via a different guide, then found that, and I have completed
   all the steps outlined in that guide, and all the steps have come out right (
   apparently)
 * I could try following that guide to the letter on a virgin os install, but i’d
   like to try something a little less extreme before that.
 * thanks.
