I've been struggling for over a week with this now and was hoping I might be able to glean some help from you knowledgable folks. I've attached the test.php page for your perusal.
The problem arises during the creation of the config.php file. Now I've seen many of the threads but haven't found anything that works for me yet and I just keep getting the same error that moodle cannot connect to the database specified.
Any help at this stage will be greatly recieved.
Thanks.

Just to add that the problem was sorted almost as soon as I posted the above the message. It was the old Mysql password algorithm problem that's referred to in various posts about the site.
Solution was found here
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/old-client.html
using the following command:
mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR
-> 'some_user'@'some_host' = OLD_PASSWORD('newpwd');

Hi Raju,
have tried using xampp for linux but found the directions hard to follow. Mainly because xampp puts all the files in it's own structure. Following tutorials was, I found, almost impossible without a fair amount of prior linux knowledge. Something I lack at the minute.
As this is my first install on windows (I'm sure I'll be asked to do it again
) I will definetly give it a try next time.
By the way, I'm using Windows 2003 server, not XP.

- XAMPP also installs Apache - Les is using IIS/Win2k3 instead (I think). I plan to do some form of analysis in the next month or so comparing Apache to IIS on a Win2k3 box - I'll post my findings in the server forums later this year.....
I would suggest XAMP for anyone who is running a basic small install, for a small number of users, however I have a gut feeling that IIS is a better solution on a win2k3 box for critical higher use situations(caveat: where windows is the only available option)
