	Hi, I'm getting the following error message when I'm trying to install ArticleMS Error: A connection to the database could not be established: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) Make sure you entered the correct information in settings.php (step1) I've checked the settings.php file and everything seems correct. Any suggestions please? Thanks Craig

	What I discovered is that, even tho the database PREFIX is entered, it is not recognized. I had to go into the settings.php page and change the database and user names manually... i.e.: $set['db_user'] = 'child_cdsadmn'; $set['db_name'] = 'child_cds'; ...using my prefix and names, of course. You'll put your own in there. Good luck! ~cj P.S. What I want to know is... is anyone at ArticleTrader/ArticleMS going to create some kind of tutorial/guideline for this stuff?
