Uh, ok. I now have MySQL Administrator v.1.1.3 but I have no idea what I’m doing now. I’ve been fishing around for how to change the option to enable “Use old passwords” but nothing popping out at me?
Does it matter that the Server MySQL version and the Client MySQl version do not match? Server version is 4.0.2 and the client version (even though I installed the package for 4.0.2) says it’s 5.0.10. Strange?
Michael,
How do you change the MySQL option to enable “Use old passwords”? The MySQL password currently is the one I set using, /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root password <yourpasswordhere>
I’m having the same problem “Error establishing a database connection”. However, I’ve made sure my msql database is running, php is up and running, and my wp_config.php file has the exact values I used in setting up mysql.
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘wordpress’);
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘root’);
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘password’); – I changed the password to my mysql password.
Any thoughts?
