Anyone have any idea what this error means and how to fix the problem so that I can get the guestbook working? Thanks for your help.

Looks like you use the wrong user name and/or password for the MySQL database.
Did you also configure everything correctly in the config.inc.php file before you uploaded it?

Like this:

Go to your guestbook admin folder and open config.inc.php with an editor
and find

/* database settings */

$GB_DB["dbName"] = ""; <--insert the name of your database
$GB_DB["host"] = "localhost";
$GB_DB["user"] = ""; <--insert your login name you use for the databse
$GB_DB["pass"] = ""; <--insert the password you use to access your database

Hi,

Most of the time hosting providers use "localhost" as the server, but some have there own setting (Yahoo).
Just ask your hosting partner what the server name is.

What error does the admin page give?

okay finally found out the problem.

apparently the software code doesnt user socket connections.

I had someone modify the mysql.call.php to cater for it.

Does this make sense and can any one explain?

Thanks
