I know I've encountered and gotten past this before, but the previous fixes aren't working for me. Installing 1.9.3 on Mac OSX 10.4 server I think he install fails when it hands over mysql from root to wikiuser. Reloading, the installer starts to update and the error is:
Deleting old default messages...DB connection error: Unknown error (dimer.local)
This is related to Apple's annoying practice of making localhost not work as a hostname for mysql. In the past, I just went into mysql and changed the host in the user and db tables. I must be forgetting something.
