Wordpress database connection error

Threads are never closed until a fix is posted ;-)

Hehe ok =) What i did is actually corrected my mysql commands to create the db and user. I dont remember the old commands i used which didnt work for me but here is the commands that worked for me;

mysql -u root -p

mysql> grant all privileges on *.* to wp_user@localhost identified by "wp_pa55w0rd";
mysql> create database wp_dbase;
mysql> quit

That's it :oops: :D

Thanks!

okay now another error occurs during the wordpress setup. it is passing the database setup with out a problem but after i want to finish setup it says;

WordPress database error: [Duplicate entry '0-0' for key 'PRIMARY']
INSERT INTO `wp_nok2term_relationships` (`term_taxonomy_id`,`object_id`) VALUES ('0','0')

any idea?

thanks.

Ok , i took screenshot for the error.

with a clean installation I've got the following errors during the installation:

And if I try to login with the given credentials it says:

1) Delete the database and recreate it

2) Make sure the user for the database has all permissions to the database

3) Restart wordpress installation

Ahh yeahh now it worked! Thank you obs.

Dear Randall:

At first, I thought this was merely a coincidence:

Then I looked at the mouse-over.

Thanks for reading the Linode Forums. -rt~~
