mike_javelinI've searched and read numerous threads covering this issue without finding a solution that works for me.
Host is 1&1 - managed server.
The issue is the connection identified by my host which is
localhost:/tmp/mysql5.sock
In e107 and Drupal I have to upload a php.ini file with the following lines to get the connection to work.
mysql.default_socket = /tmp/mysql5.sock
mysqli.default_socket = /tmp/mysql5.sock
I've tried this in the WP root with no success.
I note from the search results that others have managed to get "localhost:/tmp/mysql5.sock" to work but I don't seem to be able to.
I've tried editing the sample config file, entering my database name, user, password and connection details, again with no luck.
I have numerous e107 and drupal sites using the above connection so I know it works so it must be a "WP" thing.
I'd really like to have a go at a WP site as they look great.
