    Default Help Installing Zen Cart

    Is there anyone who can help me or install for me ZenCart on my webhost? My host is hypermart.net, I have tried for 2 days to get it going with no luck. I am at my wits end. I keep getting all sorts of errors when I get to the install part with MYSQL. I created the database, but I just cannot get it to work!

    Did you create a database? Are you going to tell us what the MySQL errors are?

    I created a database. All went well with that. This is the error I keep getting:

    Connection to Database failed
    Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)

    Provided you're using a valid username and password for the database, then this sounds like a hosting issue, and I'd recommend taking to them to find out what is blocking your access to MySQL.

    I would guess that the correct DB Name & DB User Name are not being used within the config files. Look at what in shown in your Hosting account - mySQL databases and make sure they match -- exactly.

    Also, some hosts, including mine, append your user name to the database name. It will show in the mysql page as named 'zencart', but the name you'll need for the config files is 'username_zencart'.
