I'm trying to setup/install osc. I'm at the step to connect the database. First line enter database server name: when i enter the server name or ip address I get
Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 111
Read all I could find, checked with my hosting coming and mysql is running no errors.
I changed and typed in " localhost" now I get:
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
I would love to get by this step and move on. Can anyone help?

I was hoping that someone knew of an answer. I really wanted to try and use Osc. I have been trying for days to get around and get the program installed and past the above problem. I don't see a "attach" button or I would attach my php.ini file for you to look at and see if that is the problem. or is there a setting to change in the mysql that needs to be changed? If there is no one to help me, I will have to give up on osc and go with another package. I would like to get this up and running if at all possible.

@dculley,
I would check with your hosting provider to determine the correct database name for your database server. Your Php.ini file has nothing to do with your database as almost always the database is not stored on the same server as your files.
