Topic Title: 1and1 users please help ... probs while installing phpnuke:(

pros, help the new commer !!

Trying to get my personal site hooked up on 1and1 using phpnuke.

This is what I did so far:
1. uploaded the .gz file onto my free space.
2. Unzipped it using the command tar -zxvf PHP-Nuke.tar.gz listed in INSTALL file.
3. I already have a database created for me with weired names and weired login information. I am trying to use this same database to run nuke script. So I logged in using my SSH client and executed the following command in the appropriate directory mysql nuke < nuke.sql
This is what I get after doing that !!!

ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/kunden/tmp/mysqld.sock' (2)


I have scratched my brains in every possible corner to find out the reason behind this... but no clue so far.

Hoping to see some light frm this forum ... I know some/many of the guys out here have got this working ...

Thanks in advance

I haven't tried on my 1and1.com accounts yet, hopefully someone will get an FAQ or some general help before I try ^^

i get the same error doing the same thing on the 1&1 account

just make sure that you actually have a mysql database setup with your account, and that your phpnuke installation is properly configured to use it.

try connecting to any specific hostname they gave you for the mysql server.
Thats an error you get if the mysql server isn't running on the specific server you're ssh'd into.
such as -- mysql -h something.1and1.com then all the rest of the info you were using before, for user, database, pass --
try man mysql for more info

I hope you come back to see this aapun:

phpMyAdmin on 1and1

I successfully installed it on my 1and1 account yesterday. No problems at all =)

I am actually installing phpslash on my 1and1 account. I got the same error as you. I believe the problem is the host name try adding the host name in the arguments i.e. "-h db52.perfora.net" it worked by me when I added the option.

Hope this helps,

Who needs a wartime nuclear exchange when you have peaceful countries nuking the gamma rays out of their own sovereign territories - now that the environmental theme is rather popular, the following video by Isao Hashimoto shows all the nuclear "tests" conducted by the world pass4sure RH302 [pass4sure.org] in the period between 1945 and 1998. Based on public data, the world's peaceful countries have already nuked themselves at least 2,054 times, with the US nuking the state of Nevada and its immediate pass4sure 642-062 [pass4sure.org] neighbors about one thousand times. And keep in mind - the fallout does not just miraculously "disappear." Feel free to consider that next time you look at bargain properties on the strip. Anyway, as Idealist.ws asks, "How would your pass4sure HP0-S18 [pass4sure.org] life be different if you were taught in school pass4sure 1z0-052 [pass4sure.org] a small nuclear war already took place?" One thing is certain - Congress would be stunned and appalled, and the disgraced CEO of Nukes R Us, Inc., who previously gave trillions in campaign contributions to every Congressional critter, would be facing a very unpleasant and theatrically televised day.
