I am having trouble setting up virtual hosts with MYSQL access on Leopard server. I have several sites setup on the server and they all work fine. The problem is they don't seem to have access to MYSQL databases.
I am unsure if I have done this correctly or not. I am trying to setup the sites as if they were on a real web host.
I have the sites setup with a user account (to allow FTP access) and the web content is in the ~/Sites folder. The web server directs the domain to the correct web content and this setup is working fine.
Then I tried to setup wordpress on one of the sites and it can't access the database. I have checked the database name/username/password and all is correct. The interesting part is if I copy the wordpress folder to /Library/WebServer/Documen
Any ideas?

Thanks for that, I think I have solved the problem. I wasn't familiar with the normal place to put the Virtual Host sites and still aren't really. But the problem appears to be with where I had the sites placed on the server ~/Sites. So instead I created /www/name.of.site and place all the site files in their respective folders. MySQL Access works and once I setup separate FTP accounts for each with the FTPRoot set to the site root, all appears to be fine.

correct me if I'm wrong but it seems this is your main document root which is defined in main config file httpd.conf. If it's correct, you should place your wordpress folder inside this folder and set vh as follow
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName wordpress #or www.your_domain.com
DocumentRoot "/Library/WebServer/Docume
</VirtualHost>
then follow this guide to setup wordpress, which might not be the same way that you've used
