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 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 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,
