Ok.... bonehead (referring to me). Duh.... database has to exist first, yes? So....
I did these steps (learned from earlier install of netjuke music server on another old server):
[root@e-smith ]# mysqladmin create wordpress
[root@e-smith ]# mysql --user=root mysql
mysql>GRANT ALL ON netjuke.* TO wordpress@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'itsasecret';
mysql>flush privileges;
mysql>quit
So now "wordpress" db exists... the .php web installer is still barfing on me though. ;(
This is the wp-config.php file:
[root@gateway html]# cat wp-config.php
<?php
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define('DB_NAME', 'wordpress'); // The name of the database
define('DB_USER', 'root'); // Your MySQL username
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'itsasecret'); // ...and password
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value
// Change the prefix if you want to have multiple blogs in a single database.
$table_prefix = 'wp_'; // example: 'wp_' or 'b2' or 'mylogin_'
// Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding MO file for the
// chosen language must be installed to wp-includes/languages.
// For example, install de.mo to wp-includes/languages and set WPLANG to 'de'
// to enable German language support.
define ('WPLANG', '');
/* Stop editing */
define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__).'/');
require_once(ABSPATH.'wp-settings.php');
?>
I'm hungry - maybe I need food?
