[Phphelpdesk-help] Errors when starting database for the first time

[Chris R. <ch...@fr...>]

Hi,

I'm a bit of a newbie on php/mysql.  I followed the instructions and
edited the config files as shown in the INSTALL file but i get the
following errors when visiting the webpahge for the first time :

Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server
through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111) in
/home/httpd/html/helpdesk/includes/connect.inc.php on line 10
ERROR: Can not connect to database!

Ive connected to mysql with the username used in the db.conf.php file and
i can show the database and the tables inside it but im a bit stumped with
this one.

Any help greatly apprecieated 


Regards,
