PHP Help - CHMOD 0777

He's been banned?! That was...unexpected...

Edit:

This is just great. They're pissing around with me now. I send them an e-mail a couple of days ago saying their script for ads did not work, they sent me the same script saying put it on your site, it'll be fine. I put it on my site, and today I get an e-mail: "you have removed our text ads!, please ads it ASAP or let us close this account." Nothing about the SQL database. If they don't become competent soon, then screw them. Anyone know a good free web package with FTP access, PHP and 1 database? Lots of storage etc., and possibly no ads (though I can live with a few).

Free? nope.

Livewire was banned by chruser for ripping his vb theme =0

Oh dear. That can't be good.

Edit:

Have told www.0freehosting.com where to stick it and have gone with a better host.

Sorry for the double post...but I'm confused again...

I've changed webhost to a much better one, and have made my SQL database, entered all the correct details on the install page, pressed next and...

Warning! The following errors must be rectified before continuing! Please go back and try again! Connection error: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)

I'm sorry to say that I think I need help...again...

Its a common mistake, your sql info is entered wrong. Did you assign the user to the database that you created? also you might have to use the full database name sometimes it has like an underscore _. It should be in the readme/faq if you read it.

I created the database. Entered in the details correctly (with the underscore as well), yet it doesn't want to work for me. No matter what I do it still comes up with that error.

I think I might have to contact this webhost as well...
