Hi, then it`s possible that you haven`t set a port in your db conf? Normally mysql speaks via Port 3306. When you use localhost then mysql use this port as default. Sometimes it helps then to set 127.0.0.1:3306 or in specialcases 127.0.0.1:YourMySqlPort Hope this helps Achim -- Questions about OpenCMS? --> www.opencms-forum.de
