I'm trying to build a PHPNuke powered site. I uploaded my files and tried to access admin.php in the browser and got this:

Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) in /web/sites/85/cardsfan25/www.webnexus.f2s.com/mainfile.php on line 17
Unable to select database

What should I do?

It looks to me that you don't have the right adress for the server, it would probley be db.webnexus.f2s.com for you

I have the right address for the server. I need to know where the mysql socket is.

Don't you mean the port?

Are the port and the mysql socket the same thing?

Put the connection on each page. Last time I put it in a function it didn't work. Also us the port.

This WON'T work :
<body>
<?
require("mylib.inc.php");
$id = connect_to_db(); //my own function
?>


This works :
<body>
<?
$id = mysql_connect($dbhost.":".$dbport,$dbuser,$dbpwd);
?>

Try it ...
