It works!
Turns out it was a mistake on my part. The company hosting my website
was using MySQL 4. They added MySQL 5 a few weeks ago. To use a MySQL 5
database you need to set the "host" option to *localhost:/tmp/mysql5.sock.
*Now I can copy some config settings from my working MediaWiki site.
Once that's done the real work begins. I need to fill the Wiki with some
information.

I'm trying to install mediawiki version

access to MySQL ( not my server ). I created a database using the web
tools ( I think it's C panel ). When I try to install mediawiki it
only uses the user name in the "root" section. When I put in the
master user name and password the the hosting company gave me I get
the following error message.
Error selecting database digital_wikidb: 1044 Access denied for

What's going on here and how do I fix this?
I have installed mediawiki on my own server and ran into the same
problem. It only worked if I used the root account for mysql. Using a
user of the database would not work.
You may need to tell it
* the right hostname --
mysql.domainname.com or whatever mysql hostname
your db is on.
* the right mysql db username (and provide that db username's password)
* the right db name, whatever.sql
I'm just guessing. I don't use C-panel.
