hi mary,
take a look at
http://www.stanton-finley.net/fedora_core_5_installation_notes.html#MySQ
L.
basically, you need to make sure that your mysql server accepts local
connection.
if you login to your mysql server:
mysql -u root (if no password for root) or
mysql -u root -p (if there is pw for root)
and then:
select user,host,password from mysql.user;
if you don't see an entry for root & localhost, then you need to add it
in.
hope that help.
JC
