I'm trying to install XOOPS on my local machine for testing. Here are my specs:
OS: Windows 2000
URL: http://localhost
Web server: Apache 1.3
PHP: 4.4.2
MySql 4.1.13
XOOPS 2.2.3
I run through the install and everything is OK until I get to the error message "Could not connect to the database server."
I have manually checked my mySQL implementation, logged in with the username and password, and everything is just fine.

What could possibly be the problem?

I do not use CPanel - instead I use command line interaction to work with mySQL.

Any ideas?
