Greets:
I'm trying to install 1.4.4 locally here and I am having an issue. I'm in the setup page under mydomain.com/config/index.php and I have filled out all the necessary information under the site config and click the 'install' button. The problem is I then get the "Something's not quite right yet; make sure everything below is filled out correctly." with the additional error of "Check name/pass".
Only one problem. Database name, username, and password are correct. I've verified with under the command line and I can connect from that fine. It just won't do it under the install script.
I searched the mediawiki site but found no mention. It appears that the mailing list is not searchable. (Wish it was) Google comes up with 5 hits on the error related to mediawiki. 4 with no solution and 1 with a "Get something better."
Any suggestions?
Thanks, -drmike

Please provide the diagnostic output from the installer up to that point.

Are you using MySQL 4.1 or later? Check the RELEASE-NOTES section about that.

I actually found the issue in Bugzilla. It's listed as Bug #921. Not sure why it didn't pick up on the search for the error but I finally found it via Google.
Since it is a current issue, I'll go ahead and fill in the rest of this email.

I apoligize for not doing so the first time through:
Checking environment... PHP 4.3.9: ok PHP server API is apache; ok, using pretty URLs (index.php/Page_Title) Have XML / Latin1-UTF-8 conversion support. PHP's memory_limit is 32M. If this is too low, installation may fail! Have zlib support; enabling output compression. Turck MMCache not installed, can't use object caching functions Found ImageMagick: /usr/bin/convert; image thumbnailing will be enabled if you enable uploads. Found GD graphics library built-in. Installation directory: /home/fillme/public_html/w Script URI path: /w MySQL error 1045: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) Trying regular user... need password. Something's not quite right yet; make sure everything below is filled out correctly.

4.1.11. Again, it works find from the command line, just not from the MediaWiki install page.

Tried that as well. (Well, wikipedia.org instead of the mail) I will keep it in mind though for next time.

Then you should definitely read the release notes, and confirm that you understand what's said there about MySQL 4.1 and that you have made sure you have configured your system appropriately.
