Problem Description:
Hi,

I've recently migrated servers, and when I try to install YabbSE, I get the following error:

Warning: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) in /export/home/kahkfn/forums/install.php on line 109

Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) in /export/home/kahkfn/forums/install.php on line 109
Cannot connect to database server with given data


Anyone know what I can do to fix these errors?

TIA,
-Zero Angel

Try searching first (so here are two useful looking topics):

http://www.yabbse.org/community/index.php?thread=25368

http://www.yabbse.org/community/index.php?thread=20222

But be warned that your PHP, MySQL and YaBB SE versions are all *way* behind the times!

Turns out it wasnt YabbSE that was the problem, I just had to use a different database (it wasnt localhost) when setting up.

Thanks anyways  :)
