Hi everyone,
I am currently trying to install MediaWiki 1.3.1 but I encounter such an error after clicking on the button "Install" :
Checking environment...
* PHP 4.3.4: ok * PHP server API is apache; ok, using pretty URLs (index.php/Page_Title) * Have XML / Latin1-UTF-8 conversion support. * PHP is configured with no memory_limit. * No zlib support. * Found ImageMagick: /usr/bin/convert; image thumbnailing will be enabled if you enable uploads. * Installation directory: /home/httpd/html/wiki * Script URI path: /wiki * Connected as root (automatic) * Connected to database... 3.23.58 * Database wikidb exists * There are already MediaWiki tables in this database. Checking if updates are needed...
...ipblocks is up to date. ...already have interwiki table ...indexes seem up to 20031107 standards ...have linkscc table. ...linkscc is up to date, or does not exist. Good. ...have hitcounter table. Converting links table to ID-ID...
Désolé! Suite à des problèmes techniques, il est impossible de se connecter à la base de données pour le moment
The last line should be read (for non french users) : sorry, impossible to connect to the database. But no reason is given. Does anyone of you has a clue on what's going on ?
Thank's for any advice.

This seems to end up happening if the database user account given to the install during upgrade doesn't have the necessary permissions to read or alter the database.
Make sure you've given the already correct database username and password; if necessary do some extra GRANTs.
