The lines immediately previous are:

@$myver = mysql_get_server_info( $wgDatabase->mConn );
if( $myver ) {
	$conf->Root = true;
	print "<li>Connected as root (automatic)</li>\n";
} else {
	print "<li>MySQL error " . ($err = mysql_errno() ) .
		": " . htmlspecialchars( mysql_error() );
	$ok = false;

Try removing the '@' from that first line (it suppresses any error 
message -- the purpose is to check if we have a working connection as 
the superuser and, if not, try again with the given username and password).

Check to make sure that PHP's MySQL module is set up properly also.
