    word press install confusing me
    I am running zend 5.1.0, php5, apache webserver, and msql (latest public release as of today)

    I downloaded wordpress off WordPress › Blog Tool and Weblog Platform and set it up in a directory in my apache htdocs folder.

    I configured mysql to have a database called wordpress. I then went to the wp-config.php file and entered all the correct information. I am 100% sure that this information is correct.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    define('DB_NAME', 'wordpress'); // The name of the database
    define('DB_USER', 'root'); // Your MySQL username
    define('DB_PASSWORD', 'mypass'); //... and password
    define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    when I run install.php I get the following error message:

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Error establishing a database connection
    This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can't contact the database server at 127.0.0.1/32. This could mean your host's database server is down.

    Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
    Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
    Are you sure that the database server is running?
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I really don't know what I'm doing wrong. I know that MySQL is running, I can create tables, add users, etc. any help would be APPRECIATED!!
