step 3 problem

[ray]

I get this

Attempting to attach to database...


Warning: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) in /usr7/home/katmai/public_html/forum/admin/db_mysql.php on line 37

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /usr7/home/katmai/public_html/forum/admin/db_mysql.php on line 46

The database has failed to connect because you do not have permission to connect to the server. Please go back to the last step and ensure that you have entered all your login details correctly.


Here are my settings:

Database server type: mysql

Database server hostname / IP address: localhost

Database username: katmai

Database password: xxxxxxx

Database name: bmw

Technical email: ray@octemple.com



I have tried the hostname and Ip they dont work either. What should I do?


Thanks

First, edit your post and remove db password.
Second, host should give you appropriate info about MySQL (host name, MySQL account, MySQL permissions for the account, etc.).

This is what I got from the host:

Hello Ray,

MySQL database has been setup for you with the following login information:
Username: katmai
Database name: bmw
Password: xxxxxxx
For more information please visit www.mysql.com . If there is anything else we can do for you, please don't hesitate to ask.
Thank you!

Ask them for MySQL hostname then.

They take like 3 days to get back to you, I have been waiting for them to setup mysql for like 1 week, now that it is setup they dont give me the all the information. This is frustrating, I have been waiting to try out vbulletin for like a month now.

Thanks

I can see "control panel" and "help center" at www.addr.com. You might want to take a look to find any info how to set it up. It's especially for members only so I can't post an exact URL.

They have a faq on that, but its being updated and isnt available, Im just gonna have to wait.
