Frederik Holljen	Saturday 12 November 2005 2:48:23 am Exponential can't get a connection with your database. Check that the database is actually running and that you can log in to it with the parameters you provide to Exponential. If that is the case check if your database is running on the normal port etc. To be sure you can provide the path to the socket file if your sql server is on the same machine.
ice rat	Monday 14 November 2005 12:59:48 pm I am having the same problem. I can successfully connect with the information provided both from command line mysql on the localhost and also via phpmyadmin on another host. If I provide "root" username and password then the Exponential wizard connects fine. We're a webhost and looking at supporting Exponential - obviously we don't want clients needing root access to MySQL to set it up! Any suggestions? Running on w2k3sp1, apache 2.0.55, mySQL 4.1.15, PHP 4.4.1. I'm aware of the supposed problems with apache 2.0 and Exponential - is this one of them?
ice rat	Monday 14 November 2005 1:10:01 pm ok, problem was solved using the "old_password" function described elsewhere. The server running phpmyadmin was running PHP 5.0.3. The server running Exponential was running PHP 4.4.1. Have the problems with Exponential and PHP 5 been resolved? Would be nice not to have to run different versions.
jayagopalan Balasubramani	Friday 27 January 2006 5:35:56 am Hi Try to give the ipaddress of the data base server in the connection parameters. I had the same problem during set-up. i changed the server Entry from localhost to ip address of my machine ,in the setup and it worked.
