It's all working now, and I'm not sure what happened. I deleted the
LocalSettings.php and went through the config drill again and all was
well. Sorry for the alarm, and thanks for the help!
And, yes, I am hosted at Dreamhost and didn't know about the 1-click
upgrade. Oh well, next time....

I'm trying to install mediawiki version

access to MySQL ( not my server ). I created a database using the web

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
user
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.
