Hello i am trying to install amember for the first time. My host is network solutions and i am trying to connect to mysql with the following information mysql host= mysqlv10 have also tried "localhost" username=my username database name=my database name password=my password tables prefix= amember_ This is a PRO installation not a trial- i get this error message Cannot connect to mysql (Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2))
Looks like you need to contact your hosting company to get correct location for sqlserver as localhost is obviously wrong. I presume the site is hosted remotly and not on a local system.
yea ok i have brought the issue up with network solutions and have been waiting for a response. Just wanted to make sure that the hostname was the problem and that the error code wasnt for some other reason. thanks for your help
problem solved. used ip address under hostname and all works well. I gotta say this is some great software. I am blown away at how easy it is to customize everything.
