step 2 installation error

[Domenico]

When I click step 2 and verify all login info I get this;

Attempting to attach to database...


Warning: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (111) in /home/webhost/public_html/admin/db_mysql.php on line 38

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/webhost/public_html/admin/db_mysql.php on line 47

The database has failed to connect because you do not have permission to connect to the server. Please go back to the last step and ensure that you have entered all your login details correctly.


Any suggestions?



LATE EDIT;

Server version 3.23.38
Protocol version 10
Connection Localhost via UNIX socket
UNIX socket /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

So how do I get vb to look at /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock instead of /tmp/mysql.sock ?

That needs to be set up in your MySQL, not vBulletin.

Nevermind, I just edited php.ini and filled in where mysql.sock was...

hehe

I was just coming to tell you to try that.
