Socket File

If GoDaddy have phpMyAdmin, then go to phpMyAdmin,

- Then click on the link: Show MySQL system variables
- Then scroll down to you see "socket" - you will find the correct path here.

Thanks for your reply. We had already done that, and it said that the path was /tmp/mysql-115.sock but it still didn't work so was wondering if there was an additional prefix on that. Have you ever set up a Dolphin account on GoDaddy? Thanks

Maybe this can help you, from GoDaddy help center:

Error Message:
Warning: mysql_connect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) in /home/content/u/s/e/username/html/file.php on line 2

Cause:

This is caused by your script trying to connect to 'localhost' as the MySQL server. The error displays the exact line that needs to be altered (in this case, it is on /file.php line 2).

Resolution:
To resolve this error, change your database connection string see more to use the correct server name. This can be found in the MySQL section of your hosting control panel.


Incorrect Example:
mysql_connect("localhost", "username, "password");

Correct Example:
mysql_connect("mysql12.secureserver.net", "username", "password");

For more information see <a href="/topic/67/article/39" target="_blank">Choosing a Host Name for Your SQL Database</a>.

You can edit this adress in header.inc.php,

$db['host'] = 'database_host';
$db['sock'] = 'database_sock';
$db['port'] = 'database_port';
$db['user'] = 'database_user';
$db['passwd'] = 'database_passwd';
$db['db'] ='database_navn';

Default 'database_host' are localhost when you install Dolphin, you have to change this to your correct server name,
I think if you use GoDaddy you can't use localhost.

If it not work well when you have edit your header.inc.php see more file, you may probely install it again and write the correct address/name when you install it!!
Hope it help you!!
