Another problem Warning: mysql_connect

[cococat]

I seem to keep having problems and haven't even got started good.
I am trying to install and get this error:
Warning: mysql_connect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/usr/local/mysql-5.0/data/mysql.sock' (2) in /home/content/f/l/e/fleurdelis/html/cardmaking/gallery/install.php on line 550
I cannot connect to the PhotoPost MySQL server. [host:$host][mysql_user:$mysql_user][mysql_password:$mysql_password]. Check your config-inc.php for the correct settings and rerun.
I have made sure that the Upload and Data and and all it's subfolder are 777.
Thank you in advance.

Your mysql information you are entering in the config on install does not appear to be correct please check this info to ensure its correct.

Thanks again for helping. Please excuse my ignorance, but how do I do that ?

[Chuck S]

You make sure on the config section of install you enter the correct mysql host username password and database name asked for your photopost database and your user database.

You should then be able to install.
