Initial Installation Error

phpVMS Legacy Support

I am getting an on the initial installation. If I need to CHMOD files I have not seen which ones need permission. Where is the list of files to provide permissions and what to CHMOD them too?

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/tmp/mysql.sock’ (2) in /data/19/1/45/33/1860196/user/2019948/htdocs/phpvms/core/classes/MySQL.class.php on line 121

Thanks!

Who is your host? GoDaddy? You’ll have to email them, something is not setup correctly on their end

Do I have to CHMOD the files when I get them to check their errors? It’s not Godaddy and it is not a free hosting solution! I made a folder called phpvms in the htdocs public folder is this correct?

Thanks!

You only have to chmod certain files (check the docs)

The problem you’re having is a problem with your host:

Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/tmp/mysql.sock’

There’s an error or problem with their database server install. Try creating a new database user and new database. Contact them as well
