connecting to mysql
I’m having a hard time with the setup.
I’m not sure where to write in the path to my actual database.
From what I understand
MySQL login: ‘yellowmultimedia’
MySQL password: ‘****’
MySql server: ‘localhost’
MySQL database: ‘tpsudbury’
Table prefix: txp_ (there will be multiple installations)
Now the obvious issue is how does it know where to connect.. example my database is located tpsudbury.mydomain.com where do i put that in so it can actually connect?

You can set the location of the MySQL server with the MySQL server setting. Usually you need to change the setting only when MySQL is hosted on different server system than the web server.

Re: connecting to mysql
ok… then the next question is why wouldn’t it connect. I get these errors
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock’ (2) in /home/jasheb1/textpattern.jasonhebert.net/text1/textpattern/setup/index.php on line 208

Re: connecting to mysql
MySQL is working fine. I have both wordpress and joomla installs that are working perfectly.
