[Mediawiki-l] install MediaWiki 1.18.0 on tuxfamily

[Klaus Becker]

Hi,

I try to install MediaWiki 1.18.0 on tuxfamily.org, but I can't connect to db, although I use the same db name and password as on http://phpmyadmin.tuxfamily.org where I can connect to db.

I did not change the default db user name = root

I get the message

DB connection error: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) (localhost). 

so what can I do ?

sincerely

Klaus
