No connection to database

  • Hi

    Just installed latest wordpress for one of my customers.
    Windows server 2003
    MySql 5.0
    MySql ODBC 3.51
    PHP 5

    Just ran the install.php and it errors saying cannot connect to database

    wp-config file was edited correctly giving server, database name, user, and pass.

    I can set up an ODBC and this connects immediately with the same details as supplied in the wp-config

    I can log into the database with MySql Front with the same details

    Any ideas guys?

    Many thanks
    Patrick

    DBI connect(‘database=princess_product;host=localhost’,’princess_product’,…) failed: Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock’ (2) at func.cgi line 250
