Something that will allow people to have teams, a portfolio on website, and be able to host little battles within the site, and earn points.

sounds like a simple ladder script, available in open source.

hmm...can have different reasons, first make sure all database connetcion settings are properly (user, pass, databasename, host). if it still doesn't work there are 2 reasons that are likely: if you are lucky it's only a wrong path...create a file with the following content:

Code: Select all

<?php
phpinfo();
?>
place it in your webspace and call it in the browser, if I remember it right you will also find the path to the MySQL socket there, if it's different from the one in the setup.php script (/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock) edit it (in setup.php I mean).

if this is also correct it is most likely a permission problem (you can't access /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock because you haven't the proper permissions)...in this case you will have to contact the webspace provider and ask for help...
:wink:

p.s. don't forget to delete the phpinfo file afterwards, it provides a lot of info that is nothing for the public.
