安装期间建立数据库连接时出错[关闭]

Question

I have a site that is going to use Wordpress within the main server www directory as it's blog engine. I know for a fact that the credentials are correct because I have no problem logging into PHPMyAdmin with them, so I'm almost positive that this is a server configuration issue. Has anyone else encountered this, and if so how do you resolve the issue. If it helps at all the site is hosted on Media Temple.

Answer 1

Just logging into phpMyAdmin through a hosting company does not mean you have the correct credentials for a database. For example, my hosting provider keeps all logins the same across cPanel / phpMyAdmin, but I have separate usernames / passwords for my databases.

You need to make sure that you:

1. Have a database created for the Wordpress installation
2. Have a database user (MySQL?) and password that is granted permission to access that database

From there, you will most likely choose 'localhost' as your database's host and enter your MySQL username and password.

This is pretty detailed and should walk you through the installation: http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress

Or it looks like they offer one-click install: http://kb.mediatemple.net/questions/913/Installing+WordPress+using+the+1-Click+Application+Tool
