Hello

I'm starting coppermine for the first time.

I'm getting the following error

Coppermine critical error:
Unable to connect to database !

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

when I go to my website  www.rybphotography.com   
i have set up a MySQL with my hosting company  wwwDreamhost.com

Can someone one help me with this.

From MySQL:

QuoteThe error (2002) Can't connect to ... normally means that there is no MySQL server running on the system or that you are using an incorrect Unix socket filename or TCP/IP port number when trying to connect to the server.

You should ask your webhost for the correct connection string.  You should also report that error to them.  They may be able to help you.

Here is the MySQL link: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/can-not-connect-to-server.html
Do not send me a private message unless I ask for one.  Make your post public so everyone can benefit.

There are no stupid questions
But there are a LOT of inquisitive idiots
