First I had a problem viewing the install.php but got it working finally and now after filling out the required fields I get this message.
MySQL error was : Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
Any ideas? Sorry I hope this isn't a basic question, I did search google and found some info about modding a path for a sock file and doing other things but this was for a whole different thing. I don't know if it would work for coppermine aswell, didn't want to try and screw it up though. :(
Ask your webhost for support on that.
