Ok, I restarted this project today. I completely deleted the previous test store directory (in Filezilla) and I completely deleted the database I created yesterday. I even redownloaded the 1.5.5 zip file from SourceForge. Unfortunately, I'm still stalling out in "loading character set specific data." Comparing the database data to the mysql_utf8.sql file in the install folder, I can see that the countries were added except the last one and no zones have been added. Unlike yesterday, this time a DEBUG log file was generated and it has 14 lines that all say:
Code:
[13-Apr-2016 10:45:59 America/New_York] PHP Warning: mysqli_connect(): (HY000/2002): No such file or directory in /homepages/PATH_TO_STORE/includes/classes/db/mysql/query_factory.php on line 102
In case any of this is pertinent to the problem, here is as much information as I can collect about the server and site:
Host: 1&1
PHP version: 5.5.34
MYSQL version: 5.5
Thanks, DrByte for your previous assistance on this. Is there anything else that would shed light on this issue?
