[Mediawiki-l] install problem

[Jim Hu]

I know I've encountered and gotten past this before, but the previous  
fixes aren't working for me.
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.
