My host has given me an instance of MySQL running on port 3382 with a different socket in /tmp.
I've tried using

Code: [Select]

localhost:/tmp/mysql.tomb3346 and

Code: [Select]

localhost:3382 as the server name, but both give the error

Code: [Select]

MySQL said: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/tomb3346'
Is this a problem with my MySQl configuration or is there a workaround with Coppermine? Note the error message makes it appear as if the script has tried to use a different socket to the one I gave it. My other PHP scripts can all connect easily with mysql_connect().

Any help is very much appreciated :!:

Sorry, I've sorted it. It was entirely my fault.
There was another copy of my editor running in the background, re-saving the file every few mins!
Damn Windoze to hell...

Thanks for looking anyway!
