Have you tried giving a password to mysql and tried?
Does fantastico have script to install wordpress on your site? Still I am very much new to it myself so I am not very sure. I installed wordpress on zeeblo using fantastico yesterday. |

BTW, I think you have got fantastico in your cpanel. Does fantastico have script to install wordpress? I did install wordpress on my zeeblo account yesterday using fantastico. I am very much new myself so haven't got much idea. |

If you have given the correct database name, username and password in the wp-config after everything has been set up in the mysql database from cpanel. You should be able to install wordpress. Did it say something like 'your username and password are correct but there was an error connecting to database?' that would probably mean that it was a issues with your host for a while. Do try everything again and give it a try.
