Hi !

I am having troubles installing limesurvey on my website www.enquete.toile-libre.org/

I am hosted by Toile-Libre.fr

I created a account, they gave me a FTP and i created a MySQL database called 'enquetesport_1'

I followed the topic "how to install limesurvey" but i can't get through the step n8, to instal the script. I copied the LimeSurvey file on the directory 'htdo' of my ftp.

I try to go to :
www.enquete.toile-libre.org/limesurvey/admin/admin.php
but there i got a message :
Can't connect to LimeSurvey database. Reason: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)

Here is my config.php :

$databasetype = 'mysql';
$databaselocation = 'localhost';
$databasename = 'enquetesport_1';
$databaseuser = 'enquetesport_1';
$databasepass = 'XXXXX';
$dbprefix = 'lime_';
$rooturl = "http://{$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']}/limesurvey";
$rootdir = dirname(__FILE__);
$defaultuser = 'admin';installation
$defaultpass = 'password';
$debug = 0;


Something must be wrong there, but i don't know what and i'm kind of beginner

Thank you for your help !

Hello

Have you tried to use sql.toile-libre.org as the SQL server ($databaselocation) ?

This is what I can see from this page: www.toile-libre.org/fr/le-sql-sur-toile-libre
