How do you install
Permalink
I followed the installation in the download, everything is writable.
I downloaded the files and created a site on my mac.
when I go to the URL I get "Error establishing a database connection"
How will it even know which database to connect to?
Im on mac osx.

oh, I don't want mamp. My mac already has mysql and php.
All I do is setup the host name in host file and setup the vhost for php. Should that be enough?

thanks Adreco but thats what I followed.

I go to the site I created which is concrete5.dev and I get the databse error. I never get to see any screen or enter any database credential.

My Mac knowledge is poor :(
But... you did create a new Mysql database, yes?

Have you checked the site.php file in your config folder has all the correct information? Or is this all pre set up stuff?
Edit, sorry I just realised that you prob mean that you are trying a first time install. Check your db user details and password are correct and that you have localhost for your db location.

Yes this is a fresh install.
I can't get even get the first screen to show up so I never get asked about which is my database.
Whats weird is I don't see a site.php file anywhere. I assume this gets added after the install.
Where can I go to manually add my database information. Maybe that will help?

on my machine mysql user is 'root' I think that may be the issue. Where can I add this if I can't even see the first install screen?
Forget it, I got it!
