I thought I did everything correctly when I uploaded coppermine on my ftp, but I can't install it. I get this error message:
Could not create a mySQL connection, please check the SQL values entered
MySQL error was : Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
The "albums" and "include" folders are set to 777, and I have the correct version of mysql with phpmyadmin. Heres the link:

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Guys,

this error says you haven't provided the proper data to access your mySQL database - nothing we can fix about this, contact your webhost and ask them what your mySQL data are. If you don't have mySQL at all you're stuck (see minimum requirements (http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/faq.php?q=MinimumRequirements#MinimumRequirements)).

My webhost definatley provides mysql. Its is MySQL 4.0.15. Like I said, I have phpmyadmin and I have working usernames and passwords for my database. I have already set up a forum without any problems, but I can't seem to get this to work. Thanks

just to rule a common error out: did you make sure not to change the prefix to anything containing a dot (there mustn't be dots in table names, as they're used for other purposes in mySQL)?
