Ok, I know this problem has come up for others but when I searched your database none of the threads I found on it had any answers, even the ones that people linked to after this question was asked.  It's possible I'm just blind but I spent about five hours last night trying to fix this so maybe not.  I'm hosted through yahoo with my own domain name and I can't seem to get this instaledl.  Every time I try, I get this message:

Could not create a mySQL connection, please check the SQL values entered

MySQL error was : Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (46)

I know next to nothing about php, so I'm not even sure if I have the correct values entered, though I do have phpMyAdmin running and I'm fairly sure my site meets all the minimum requierments.

Any help would be great!

Can't you use the same data phpmyadmin is running with ?

Do you mean the same user names and such? 'cause that's what I'm entering.  I have a database called db so I just entered "db" for database name and I left the table prefix at the defalt setting and I'm still getting the same error no matter what I enter.

Have you searched and read this?

That might work, thanks!

Ok, I am seriously not competent enough to do this myself.  I'm hosted through yahoo but they give you a phpMyAdmin accound dealie so I suppose I'm the one who has to fix this but I don't know how.  I'll give someone access if they know how to fix it and repay them with webspace or something if they want, 'cause I don't know what to do.
