Okay, first I accidently hit the Restore Factory Settings button... so then I tried to just reinput the information but I kept getting a database error and it wouldn't let me run the debug mode. Now I keep getting this error:
Coppermine critical error:
Unable to connect to database !
MySQL said: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
What do I do??!! I've been trying for hours & I searched though the forum but can't find anything to work.
I've got a similar error that has happened to me twice today on two different websites that I have it installed on. The first time I just reinstalled, but I don't want to do that again because I have to upload all my pictures again and configure again etc. That takes a while on dialup.
Here's the error message:
Coppermine critical error:
Unable to connect to database !
MySQL said: Access denied for user 'waltsbea_copp1'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
known issue for outdated versions of coppermine. Should go away if you upgrade to the most recent version (currently cpg1.4.6). That's a reason why we release new versions.
@xoxoerica: use better subject lines for the threads you start in the future.
Ah ok, thanks. My host only gave me 1.4.2.
If you are referring to fantastico or its kin, you need to do a manual upgrade. Last I heard, they don't have the latest version available.
Yeah, its Fantastico. I just discovered the same thing and I'm working on it now.

Then why did you reply to a thread on a board made for cpg1.
3.x? ::)
My apologies. I just ran a search for my error message and didn't notice it showed up in the older board. I'll start a new post in the 1.4 area since an update didn't fix it.
