Hi there,
I have dowloaded and unpacked the Piwig download, then uploaded the files to a folder on my website.
When I go to that folder I am greeted with a screen that invites me to install the software.
After I have entered all the information I get this message.
Warning: mysqli::mysqli() [mysqli.mysqli]: (HY000/2002): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) in /home/content/80/11659580/html/trial/include/dblayer/functions_mysqli.inc.php on line 61

Now, I'm not sure which user name and password I have to enteras there are two sets. One to enter the site and the other for uploading files to the site. There is also a username and database name combined as one with a password - which do I use?
Sorry to be a numpty, but I really have no idea what I'm doing.
Hi,
The first username and password needed in the installation form is for MySql database connexion. So you should have a valid MySql database and a user set to access it.
If your website is not hosted by you (on your own personal server), you should ask a support to your hosting provider to get the correct username and password for your database.
