Here is my error message....
I am not seeing the error, perhaps someone else can help me figure out where it is.. I really need a fresh set of eyes at this point.:confused:

Step 2) Connect to the database
Attempting to attach to database
Error description: mysql_connect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/usr/local/mysql-5.0/data/mysql.sock' (2) /home/content/n/e/w/newageadmin/html/forum/includes/class_core.php on line 273
The database has failed to connect because you do not have permission to connect to the server. Please confirm the values entered in the 'includes/config.php' file.

The most likely cause of this error is that the info in your config.php file is wrong or your db user does not have full permissions to this database. Please read this for all the known causes of this error:

between the link you sent me and a fresh set of eyes, we were able to diagnose the problem - it was in several places, actually, one being that I had to have the IP addy of the database..

Thank you again!
