Database Connection Error: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)

Please help.

Thanks.

GoDaddy does not use localhost.

Please use the correct information when setting up your database.

As for everyone else, download the install_functions.php file found in post # 19 of this thread. Once downloaded and unzipped, upload the containing file to your Pixelpost admin/install/ folder overwriting the existing install_functions.php file.

This *should* fix any problems with the install.

Experiencing all the same problems as described here I solved the problem the ugly way:

Commenting out line 1256 in install_functions.php as suggested by another poster prevented my config-file being deleted. Still getting that weird character appended to my db-password, I hard coded my password into line 1145 in the same file. Like this:

$config_data .= "\$pixelpost_db_pass = \"mypassword\";

I never got a chance to try the updated install-functions.php which was posted here, as I did not have the patience to wait the two days from registering on the forum, to actually receiving my activation email :-)

Best regards - and thanks for an otherwise excellent piece of software

So... I did this on March 31st to no avail. In fact... I completely deleted my pixelpost directory and uploaded all the files again from a fresh download from the pixelpost website. Same problem existed that had been there before. So, I gave up.

However, today, I tried it again, without changing anything and it worked like a charm. Must have been a ghost in the system.

Anyway... I'm looking forward to getting up and running now. I'm transferring my old photoblog to this one... Thanks for your help. And your AutoResize AddOn... I didn't realize that wasn't standard until I uploaded my first pic.

Does it really take two days to register on the Pixelpost forum?

Also, are you on windows hosting by any chance?

I have still the same problem, tried everything. All the suggestions from this thread are useless to my portal. I have installed there phpbb 3, wordpress, all kinds of cms's but this is the hardest nut to crack. Please (i mean the pixelpost crew), solve the problem. Thanks
