I'm trying to build a PHPNuke powered site. I uploaded my files and tried to access admin.php in the browser and got this:

Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) in /web/sites/85/cardsfan25/www.webnexus.f2s.com/mainfile.php on line 17
Unable to select database

What should I do?
 
It looks to me that you don't have the right adress for the server, it would probley be db.webnexus.f2s.com for you

What the hell is that? I got everything working just fine. Used it for phpBB.
 
hey guys i do also as said in tforum readme file.
database name=db.dony.f2s.com
but also received a problem
 
Put the connection on each page. Last time I put it in a function it didn't work. Also us the port.

This WON'T work :
<body>
<?
require("mylib.inc.php");
$id = connect_to_db(); //my own function
?>


This works :
<body>
<?
$id = mysql_connect($dbhost.":".$dbport,$dbuser,$dbpwd);
?>

Try it ...
