Tried 1.13 alpha and had exactly the same problem. One weirdness: when I set the mysql host to "localhost", the web installer prints "Connection failed" in red. So I changed it to my host's fully qualified domain name, which worked. "mysql -p -u root" works fine from the command line.

localhost will usually attempt to use the mysql socket, which in Leopard's PHP is /var/mysql/mysql.sock, as apposed to /tmp/mysql.sock, so that's why using localhost does not work. as for creating the user, i don't know what to say. try an SQLite install. That's what i did. Then i found out how to get PHP to work with my copy of MySQL. On May 29, 2008, at 10:18 PM, Daniel Barrett wrote:

Thanks for the tip! I did: mkdir /var/mysql ln -s /tmp/mysql.sock /var/mysql used "localhost" in the installer, and it worked!

I wonder if users.sql should replace 'localhost' with '{$wgDBserver}'... I haven't tried this... IIRC, OSX is odd about the usage of localhost. I have MW 1.12 and 1.13a running on my MacBook, however, so sometimes it works. I've seen installation stalls like yours before, though. Jim On May 30, 2008, at 12:18 AM, Daniel Barrett wrote:
