FATAL: Cannot connect to MySQL server on 'localhost'. Please make sure you have specified a valid MySQL database name in 'include/config.php' The database configuration in config.php is correct, and is readable, because if I change the hostname, the error message changes accordingly. I can connect to the MySQL database just fine with the configuration information that is in config.php. Any ideas would be appreciated - If this become too off topic, someone feel free to say so. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
