Hi,
Im new to this wordpress mu. I have installed it on a subfolder.. While our wordpress site is on a different subfolder. And i have successfully installed the wordpress mu coz i reached the page that says:
Installation Finished!
Congratulations!
Your WordPress ยต site has been configured.
But after i click login the page changes to:
Error establishing a database connection
I know this is a correct database coz this is the second database that i have created.
Did you add a database user to it that has all permissions on that database?

yes the user has full permission.. i tried deleting the wp-config.php and installed wordpress mu again.. And its the same.. It says "installation finished"..but same problem as above after trying to log-in.
did i miss something like apache configuration, etc? coz i dont have logins for the hosting server as my client only gives the database info to me..
thanks
Are you sure you put in the right db server? Sometimes it's localhost, on some hosts, it's not.

i checked the wp_config.php of our wordpress site.. the DB_host is just "localhost".. could this be different for wordpress MU?
No, it uses whatever db host you tell it to use.
Recently I have seen installation issues if your db user's password is 6 characters or less.
Just check to verify everything is correct.
