Thanks Chris.

> can you try connecting to that database

Yes, I did this with the MySQL cmd line client and I can connect fine. The bbpress settings are really simple:

// ** MySQL settings ** //

define(‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘wordpress’);

define(‘BBDB_USER’, ‘wordpress’);

define(‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘XXXXXXXX’);

define(‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);

define(‘BBDB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);

define(‘BBDB_COLLATE’, ”);

And for WP:

// ** MySQL settings ** //

define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘wordpress’);

define(‘DB_USER’, ‘wordpress’);

define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘XXXXXXXX’);

define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);

Here is the info from the MySQL database after connecting as the ‘wordpress’ user:

mysql> show databases;

+

---

+

| Database |

+

---

+

| information_schema |

| wordpress |

+

---

+

3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Is there any way to get more detailed diagnostic info from the install process?
