Topic: Unable to connect to MySQL server

"PunBB reported: Unable to connect to MySQL server.
MySQL reported: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)"

At the database I entered the name, talblindhed_dk_db, at the Database username I entered talblindhed.dk and the Database password is correct. Still, it wont work.

Okay, so what's wrong? I have been uploading everything the right way, and the information I entered must be right... right?

(also, it says "The file 'config.php' doesn't exist or is corrupt. Please run install.php to install PunBB first." but it's supposed to say that, right...)

Re: Unable to connect to MySQL server

Means php can't talk to mysql, you need to ask your host.
