[resolved] [Solved] Connection issue when installing TXP

Does anybody know how to remedy this error below when installing TXP?

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) in /data/4/0/151/156/314645/user/320052/htdocs/textpattern/setup/index.php on line 208
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) in /data/4/0/151/156/314645/user/320052/htdocs/textpattern/setup/index.php on line 210
Can’t connect to database

It is referring this line of code in the index.php file;

if (($mylink = mysql_connect($dhost, $duser, $dpass)))
 			$carry['dclient_flags'] = 0;
		elseif (($mylink = mysql_connect($dhost, $duser, $dpass, false, MYSQL_CLIENT_SSL)))

After searching and reading this threads

I tried replacing ‘localahost’ with the server alias with Network Solutions and that fixed the problem. thanks
