I'm not sure which one it is, but I've been trying to set up a PHP Forum on my Mac, and when it comes to setup, I get an error:
Code:
Could not connect to the database, see error message below.
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
Here are the details of my setup: Computer: Macintosh G4 AGP Minitower Processor: 400Mhz PowerPC G4 RAM: 1Gb SDRAM OS: OS X 10.4.11 HD: ST320011A Quantum Fireball SE6.4A
I've tried two different forums (SMF and phpBB), but they BOTH look for /var/mysql/mysql.sock. I had to manually create /var/mysql/ and move mysql.sock over to it to make the install work properly, but I'm sure that's not right. I also changed the php.ini file to read "session.save_path=/var". Don't know if that will cause a problem, but we'll see.
Now, who can help with my problem? Anything would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks

I know almost nothing about setting up SQL but if the install failed without those folders I'd make sure you installed it right or were installing the right version.
