i’ve been trying to install phpBB3 to my website but its not working at all. At the install screen where it asks for the database name and database location I get an error
Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/tmp/mysql.sock’ (46)
i have looked through many solutions on the web, and have found out that because my website is hosted by Yahoo! that they could be the ones causing the problem. I have tried creating an new database to use for it in phpMyAdmin but for some reason I can’t give myself any privilieges to create a new database or to reload the privileges. this is all really confusing for me as i am completely new to working with a database.
I’m beginning to think I should switch to another host other than Yahoo! but I have a two questions.
- How hard is it to do and
- Will my WordPress blog still work or will I have to recreate it all over again
