    Hello all. I have installed plogger before using a different server, but for some reason I am having trouble installing it on the startlogic server.I have added a new database, user accounts and passwords. Unfortunately I still get this response:
    * Cannot connect to MySQL with the information provided. MySQL error: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
    * Couldn't find the database mozelyrose. MySQL error: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'mysqldb' (111)
    Has anyone ran into this problem? Any solutions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

    Jay

    Jay,

    This is most likely a server issue. You should contact your webhost and ask them the hostname of the MySQL server (it seems like it isn't set up as 'localhost' for that server). Once they give you the hostname, enter that during the _install.php process instead of 'localhost'.

    Thanks for your help. Apparently startlogic no longer uses 'localhost' for a hostname it is now yourwebsites name plus startlogicmysql.com. Unfortunately, I have installed but when it takes me to the login screen the automated login they gave me does not work. I deleted the db and started out fresh, yet I still have the same problem. Any help is once again appreciated.

    Who are you referring to with "they"? Is this the automated login that Plogger gives you or a login that your webhost gave you?

    Also, are you able to view or edit the MySQL tables from your webhost (phpMyAdmin?)? If you are, you can verify that Plogger has connected to the SQL database and, if needed, change your password through the backend (which I can help you with or I can link you to a discussion on the Plogger forums).

    Let us know! :)

    Sid,

    Firstly thank you for your help and quick response. I am referring to the response that plogger gives when you are trying to type in the logins at the admin page. I do believe I am able to view/edit the MySQL tables in phpMyAdmin. How can I change the password from the backend? Thanks again,

    Jay

    mster5,

    Make sure this is after you've already ran the _install.php file.

    A previous discussion to change your password is here -> http://plogger.org/forum/discussion/1723/

    Or you can add your own password by logging in to phpMyAdmin, clicking the '_plog' database, click the 'plogger_config' table, then click the pencil icon to edit the table. Then, for the admin password, just replace the random string of numbers/letters under "Value" with your desired password and select 'MD5' from the "Functions" pulldown menu. Click 'Go' and it should update the database with your new password. Then you should be able to log in to Plogger from the admin form!

    Let me know if you run into any problems.

    Okay, I believe I have celebrated prematurely.I can get into the plogger panel fine with the new password I created. But when I try to upload a picture to a new album it reverts me back to the admin login page. This is beginning to become a nightmare. Any help is greatly greatly appreciated!

    hmmm . . . it sounds like you're having problems with php sessions. Once you log in, can you move to any of the other tabs without it kicking you back to the login screen?

    No I can not. It just kicks me back to the login screen.
