I get this error no matter what I do fresh install please help....

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 111 in /home/landrser/public_html/streetracerforum/icyphoenix/install/includes/mysql4.php on line 46
Could not connect to the database

Are you sure your values for connecting to your database are right ?
When happened this bug ?

Fresh Install 1.3.0.53 > no problem ?


Generally, every " could not connect to the database " are problems of login ... ( I mean that user name or password are maybe wrong. )

Server Problem. :roll:

h**p://***.google.com.au/search?q=L...lient=firefox-a

Also! If this is YOUR url - streetracerforum.com - It's parked.

But as you don't even have a .com or .net etc, in the url you posted, what exactly is the url you are you trying to connect to?

landrser_phpb1 user

now i get this but only when i leave as local host not hostmonster.com which is the host site name....??

An error occurred trying to update the database
Table 'ip_acronyms' already exists

It usually is "localhost" and not something.anything because that's how it works. And it's rare that it would be any different. ;)

You'll probably have to access your Cp - phpMyAdmin and drop the tables and then try again with "localhost"

BTW - change your /icyphoenix/ to forum or something more appropriate. :P

forgive me for sounding like a noob here but great info I think your right but how do I exactly do that :)

I know how to get to the phpMyAdmin just not sure what to do from there..

Thanks---David.

Usually, when you subscribe to any hosting service, they send to you, during process, all the informations you need to use it ( by mail ). You shall find in all you need to complete successfully your installation ( db user & password, db host, etc ... ). Sometimes you can also find it in one of the pages when you connect to the site.



But this, it really sound strange to me : normally, the user value you use to connect to the site is the same than for connect to the database via .php or else. ( Dunno if I understood well what you wanna say ... )

omg im such a dork ok fixed and installed whoooo LOL
