Hi i have just purchased text adds and whilst i have got the mysql database created with my admin username and password, I can NOT add new members to the user database ??

The error im getting is as follows:
Warning: mysql_query() [function.mysql-query]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/usr/local/mysql-5.0/data/mysql.sock' (2) in /home/content/m/y/v/myvipdeals/html/advertise-with-us/query_user_register.php on line 32

Warning: mysql_query() [function.mysql-query]: A link to the server could not be established in /home/content/m/y/v/myvipdeals/html/advertise-with-us/query_user_register.php on line 32
SQL Error : Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/usr/local/mysql-5.0/data/mysql.sock' (2)
....also, i think the help file is dreadful, because it doesnt help at all

You could try placing a file named .htaccess in the admin folder and adding this line only to the file:

DirectoryIndex index.php

This is a database connection error, have you run the installer?

--

This error means that the database connection can't be established with the entered values.

It could be either your host value, database name value, database username or database password value.

Usually the host value setting can be found in your web hosting database admin panel, (where you setup the database).

It can look like :

localhost
mysql
an IP address IE, 87.44.221.23
name.someserver.net

or so forth, if you can't find the host value, please contact your web host for help.
