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.
