For Snow Leopard users you need to use the “new” password format else you will get the "error establishing a database connection" and if you use echo(mysql_error()); before the html error output in wp-includes/wp-db.php (line 343 in version 2.8.4) it will say "mysqlnd cannot connect to MySQL 4.1+ using old authentication".

So instead of using:

set password for wpuser@localhost = old_password('wppass');

Use:

set password for wpuser@localhost = password('wppass');

Hi, noob here. I startted to follow your tut and didnt get far. I had to create a .profile because there wasn't one already. So I did “nano .profile” to create it. Then I added the export path. After leaving the .profile file, I cant find a way to get back in. but also not sure how to change from local host in the terimal to run commands for the next mysql step.

many thanks.

Thanks for this excellent instructions. I have now WP 2.8 running smoothly on my Mac Mini.

When I downloaded the mysql-5.1.35-osx10.5-x86.dmg I noticed that it included a Startup app. Once installed, this app starts up automatic the MySQL server after a reboot and no manual action is needed anymore.

Hello,

I got through the installation with no problem, but it won't let me login to wordpress. When I look at the table in mysql, there is only one user 'admin'. I can't login as my own user and I can't login as admin. Am I missing something? I used all the username and password settings exactly as in this tutorial. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

BD

Hey guys, I'm probably not supposed to do any self promotion but I think it would really help the readers here and it's very simple... instead of just downloading the regular WordPress, you can download a super-charged WordPress with tons of useful and tested plugins just go to http://www.wpready.com
