The format will be the same, replace username by mysql username - usually root password by mysql password - usually blank localhost by hostname - usually localhost databasename by DB name you created - i believe you mentioned foo, so type the same in here too.

Hi.
When attempting to install Drupal 6 when I enter my database details, MySQL throws the error that no such file exists & to check my database name & user.
I've checked MySQL & the DB is there with the correct name & password I gave it so I'm stumped.
Do I have to alter the line `$db_url = 'mysqli://username:password@localhost/databasename';' in my settings file & if so, if the name of the DB was `foo' & the user `bar' what syntax would this require.
I'm attempting an install on OS X Snow Leopard with MySQL 5.19, PHP 5.3.6 & a localhost installation on a Macbook Pro. I've followed all the install instructions & PHP is working with a test page from inside my Drupal directory.
Thanks for any help...
Cheers,
Phil.-- Please consider the environment before reading this email...
