Can anyone help me install a topsite script?

[Wagerboy]

Hello. I am attempting to install this free toplist script and its been a nightmare...I am stuck here:


Application Warning error :: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
[File /home/.gopher/wagerboy/face/topsite/inc/class/db/class.db.mysql.php (Line 29)]

Database Fatal error :: Connection to host attempt failed
[2002 : Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)]

Any ideas? Thanks

Check your database settings in the config file, also check your path to MYSQL 99% of the time it is locahost but not all the time.

Thanks Darkhorse..Im stuck here..I get this line and really dont understand what it means

Database Fatal error :: Var select failed
SELECT email FROM admin LIMIT 1
[1146 : Table 'topsite.admin' doesn't exist]

thanks for your help

well it looks like from that error that the script did not create the tables in the database. What script are you installing and on what host?

[CamsLord]

make sure u have all the database info correct

no db tables created yet and also give access to the user for that particular database.

i think you are missing a part of the installation (creation of tables)

Thank you all for helping me. It was a corrupt folder from transfer. Thanks for all your time and help.
