I am installing vBulletin using 0fees.net and when I go to install, I get to step to then I get:

    Attempting to attach to database



Error description: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) /home/vol13/0fees.net/fees0_7746606/theelitegamers.0fees.net/htdocs/includes/class_core.php on line 311



The database has failed to connect because you do not have permission to connect to the server. Please confirm the values entered in the 'includes/config.php' file.

I have no idea what to change in config.php or class_core.php on line 311, I know its line 311 because of Notepad++ (I really recommended it). So, what can I change in config.php or class_core.php on line 311 to make this work? Oh and this is what line 311 is:

    $link = $this->functions[$usepconnect ? 'pconnect' : 'connect']("$servername:$port", $username, $password);

Thanks, EvilCow

ANYONE??? :cry:

This is what I changed on line 311:

    $link = $this->functions[$usepconnect ? 'pconnect' : 'connect']("$ftp.0fees.net:$80", $fees0_7746606, $MYPASSWORD);

I still get that error:
[ATTACH=CONFIG]9005[/ATTACH]

You mustn't change that. You have to change includes/config.php

Ohhh... good thing I have a backup. What part do I change in config.php? Because the error said in class_core.php on line 311.

You need to change, database, password, user ect.

My MySQL doesn't have a password should I just put my FTP login?

And where it says

        //    ****** SLAVE DATABASE CONFIGURATION ******

    //    If you have multiple database backends, this is the information for your slave

    //    server. If you are not 100% sure you need to fill in this information,

    //    do not change any of the values here.

$config['SlaveServer']['servername'] = '';

$config['SlaveServer']['port'] = 3306;

$config['SlaveServer']['username'] = '';

$config['SlaveServer']['password'] = '';

$config['SlaveServer']['usepconnect'] = 0;

do i need to change anything? sorry for not being a grammar Nazi right now im in a hurry. also im sorry about all the questions

No, you`re MYSQL MUST have a password otherwise theres nothing really `right`.

Ill check and reply back with a quote



Ohhh shit man I forgot about the email they sent me your right



Turns out its the same as my ftp log in and it still doesn't work but as i said above what do i change in

    

    //    ****** SLAVE DATABASE CONFIGURATION ******     //    If you have multiple database backends, this is the information for your slave     //    server. If you are not 100% sure you need to fill in this information,     //    do not change any of the values here. $config['SlaveServer']['servername'] = ''; $config['SlaveServer']['port'] = 3306; $config['SlaveServer']['username'] = ''; $config['SlaveServer']['password'] = ''; $config['SlaveServer']['usepconnect'] = 0;

You need to create a account with your SQL database, make sure the password isn't easy for the account for the SQL or it could easily be brute forced .

I got what you mean but in which tab? [ATTACH=CONFIG]9007[/ATTACH]
