localhost is not 99% of the cases

Description

The mention in the install process and in the codex "There is a 99% chance you will NOT have to change it. If you are unsure, try installing with the default value of 'localhost' and see if it works. If the install fails, contact your web hosting provider." is wrong as more and more hosts use different configurations. For non expert people, it is misleading, when it was supposed to help. I suggest replacing by "In many cases you will NOT have to change it, but refer to the information given by your provider. If you are unsure, try installing with the default value of 'localhost' and see if it works. If the install fails, contact your web hosting provider."

  • Milestone changed from 2.9.1 to 3.0

IMO, This enhancement shouldnt be destined for a maintainence release.

Quite right, I was thinking it was a bug fix, but clearly not.

  • Priority changed from low to normal

wp-config.php is missing? Otherwise I'm all for it.

  • Status changed from new to closed
  • Resolution set to fixed

(In [13163]) More and more, hosts are not using localhost for the MySQL connection. Reword the config setup text. props mrmist. fixes #11659
