MySQL connection error

[Stenks]

Hi .. I'm getting this error when I try open my server

>> Starting SQL connection
Failed connecting to database - MYSQL ERROR: Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (111) (2003)

> ERROR: Couldn't estabilish connection to SQL database!

I'm using the latest XAMPP in a Linux - Ubuntu 9.04 ...

If I use the 'localhost' instead of 127.0.0.1 I get a socket error ..

I don't know what else I can do ..


thanks,

don't use lampp for serious projects, Why people can't understand that XAMPP and LAMPP are made for developers, not for serious hosting projects.... Use mysql-server-5.0 and apache2 instead of lampp.....

I'm using lampp because I couldn't change the listening port on the stand-alone versions, so my friends couldn't connect the AAC to make the account and so on.

See, this is what it happens when I change the listening port to 8080 and try to connect:

Any help would be awesome.

On /etc/apache2/sites-enabled open the only file there and edit this part
<VirtualHost *:80>
set 80 to the port you gonna use....

BTW why u want to use 8080?
