Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Can’t installI tried one more thing and this didn’t help either: I found a suggestion to run this: <html>
<head><title>test</title></head>
<body>
<?php
$link = mysql_connect(‘mysql_host’, ‘mysql_user’, ‘mysql_password’)
or die(‘Could not connect: ‘ . mysql_error());
?>
</body>
</html>
this is the result I get after putting in my localhost, usernamd and password:Warning: mysql_connect(): Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client in c:\program files\icode\everest\ecommerce\shop administrator\psilyu\blog\wp-admin\test.php on line 8
Could not connect: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL clientI hope this makes sense to someone.
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Can’t installok, now it seems i’m at the same point many other members are at. “Error establishing a database connection”. all the other posts and links to other posts and stuff aren’t doing me any good. I know I have the database settings correct and I know MySql is running I can see it running when I open MySQL Administation. I’m hosting my own site so I don’t have cPanel or any idea how to configure phpMyAdmin which seems to have no user interface upon installation. I’ve downloaded so many programs to try to manage MySQL database and still can’t find one to use to add a user, database and set passwords. the MySQL command line doesn’t tell me how to do this. Any help? Thank you

In reply to: Can’t installnow when i try to run install.php i get this message: Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL which is required for WordPress.PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library ‘./php_mysql.dll’ – The specified procedure could not be found. in Unknown on line 0
I tried uninstalling php 5 and installing php 4.4 but I still get the same results. Should I copy the php_mysql.dll file to any certain place?

In reply to: Can’t installthanks for responding. I got a little further since my last post. I am hosting on my own server. This is running on Win2000 Server Adanced. I uploaded to the correct place and now I get the error message when trying to install: Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL which is required for WordPress. MySQL server 4.1 is running and I installed PHP 5.0.4.
Thank you
