hokage Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 when i get to the part of the installation when it trys to test out the mysql connection i get a error that says.. Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (46) can anyone help me on this? its on a web server.and i put database under session storage, i put localhost
Guest Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 did u create the database, also the db username, password, username prior to attempting installation?
hokage Posted January 15, 2005 Author Posted January 15, 2005 yes i made the database before hand and the user,databasename and pass matched up...
Guest Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 does the database runs on the same server ? it means ur database is not present in 'localhost' check the servername of the database. it should be different. thanks
♥Vger Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 Instead of 'localhost' try putting '127.0.0.1' Vger
hokage Posted January 17, 2005 Author Posted January 17, 2005 Yes our database is on the same server. and Vger i tryed it and it didn't work :(
Guest Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 Is your site on a remote host or on your desktop?
Guest Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 Sorry, I know how to sort this out on a local machine, but never done it on a remote host.
