      In order for Drupal to work, and to continue with the installation process, you must resolve all issues reported below. For more help with configuring your database server, see the installation handbook. If you are unsure what any of this means you should probably contact your hosting provider.

      Failed to connect to your MySQL database server. MySQL reports the following message: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Invalid argument.
          o Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
          o Are you sure that you have typed the correct database hostname?
          o Are you sure that the database server is running?
      For more help, see the installation handbook. If you are unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your hosting provider.

drupal 6 error solved by referring

Function ereg() is deprecated in drupal-6.13\includes\file.inc on line 895
open the file.inc in a good text editor other than notepad, go to the line number 895 to see the following line. Then comment the line and in the next line type the replaced code. this will solve the instalation issues and also most of other issues related to the same issue.

Change
elseif ($depth >= $min_depth && ereg($mask, $file)) {

to
elseif ($depth >= $min_depth && mb_ereg($mask, $file)) {

"Had the same issue with xampp linux - SOLVED it a different way
Posted by mattcbaker on July 4, 2010 at 5:22pm

...And so having edited:
/opt/lampp/etc/php.ini

And changed:
pdo_mysql.default_socket=
to:
pdo_mysql.default_socket=/opt/lampp/var/mysql/mysql.sock

And restarted xampp, the installation proceeded, with the database host still set to its default of 'localhost'.

xampp: 1.7.3a
drupal: 7.0-alpha5

Cheers,

Matt.
