RE: [Mediawiki-l] Installation fails - MediaWiki-l

8 Mar 2005

      I believe that at that point the install tries to authenticate with
mysql using a different user. So the issue is most likely a mysql
authentication issue.  I recommend that you enable logging on mysqld
try again and see what mysql's problem is.
