Hi folks, I'm installing Joomla 1.5 on a localhost but it's giving me an error "Could not connect to the database. Connector returned number: Unable to connect to the database:Could not connect to MySQL." Please I need your assistance. Thank you.

Is MySQL definitely installed?
Is the MySQL service definitely running at the moment?
Are you connecting using MySQLi the 'improved' php mysql connector - does your PHP definitely have the correct extensions/modules installed or enabled?

Just wondering if you have created a new user in MySQL for Joomla or not. If yes, have you set your user in MySQL's host to 'localhost'?

If you are on MAMP in Mac OS X, make sure you use root as db user and root as db pswd
