Sorry for this much elementary question but I am a php with mysql learner and I am daring to install a mediawiki. I was halted on the first step with these messages:
- Database type: MySQL - Loading class: DatabaseMysql - Attempting to connect to database server as root...failed due to authentication errors. Check passwords.
Something's not quite right yet; make sure everything below is filled out correctly.
Please, help !!
Hi People, any advice about where have I to check passwords? I think I've filled every field correctly, Thanks in advance

You told it to use root account to create the wiki account. However, you didn't give to the installer the right password for mysql root.
Note that mysql accounts are different than the future wiki accounts, and also different than the system accounts. You might have been putting the system root password instead of mysql root password. Those are different roots.
Hi Platonides, I'm happy to deserve your attention. Thank you very much. I've created another user on mysql and set a password so *MediaWiki has been successfully installed.*. Thanks again and again!! I wish you best christmass!! Nevio
