Install.php error

[cessam]

When I try to set up the install.php after creating the DB and user and setting the correct permissions on the folder I get the error below.
Can you please tell me why?

Thanks
The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request.
The script had an error or it did not produce any output. If there was an error, you should be able to see it in the error log.

I am using cpg 1.4.15 and just renamed it to photogallery

Thanks

I don't know. Try asking your webhost or read the error log as suggested.

OK i got past that part. They forgot to add CGI!!!
However now I recieve the error below:
Could not create a mySQL connection, please check the SQL values entered

MySQL error was : Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)

again something that needs to be fixed by your webhost. Ask them once more. Don they know their way around in the business?

Well all is working well now. Thanks for you help
