alpha 6 setup error
Hi,
I get this when running alpha6 setup.cgi

Error: Could not connect to database. Reason: Unknown MySQL Server Host (host=localhost) (2)


The host is known as localhost, and that's what I set it as in the links sql 1.13 setup, so why wouldn't it work now?

Any ideas?

Just uploaded version 7 and tried the setup.cgi file and have the same error.

Alex, can you please tell me why this is, that the links sql version can connect to my localhost, as localhost but the links alpha 7 can't connect to the localhost on our server.

Hmm, very strange. Can you email me shell access so I can take a look? I can't see any reason why that would happen..

Cheers,

Alex
