Warning: Can't connect to local MySQL server throu

[djtalon]

Hi all,

 

Please help!

I've just had to reinstall os commerce after changing Server and neglecting to save the Files on the new Site! Duh 1! And after installing all the folders ( shop catalog and admin ) into the right folders I got a message telling me to remove the config.php file from catalog/ . I also had a message telling me to remove the install directory from catalog/install/. Which I did but now when I access my Shop through my Website I get a Blank screen ( duh 2! ) and this Message;

 

Warning: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) in /homepages/11/d100105969/htdocs/wsc100105977/catalog/includes/functions/database.php on line 19

 

Please help! I'll paste the above file but I know absolutely nothing about php as a language and I have only just got the hang of Html. Here's that file;

MySQL is not running.

 

Please contact your hosting provider.

I got a message telling me to remove the config.php file from catalog/ .

:huh:

 

Nope. The message told you to change the permissions on the file, not remove it. :lol:

 

Could 'splain a lot.

Thanks chaps,

i'll try putting back the config file and if that don't help then i'll contact the server provider and if that fails then I suppose you'll find I'm back here just as confused if not more.

Thanks again

From reading your first post my guess is that the db is fine.

 

Deleting the config file was a bad idea. :P
