Hi

On attempting to install Codoforum 4.2 on Dreamhost Shared Hosting.

After click Next on SQL Server page of installer, i get the following error.

Let's just say: i am impressed!

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'PDOException' with message 'SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] No such file or directory' in /home/booma/bayviewboom.org/getsimple/codoforum/sys/vendor/illuminate/database/Illuminate/Database/Connectors/Connector.php:47 Stack trace: #0 /home/booma/bayviewboom.org/getsimple/codoforum/sys/vendor/illuminate/database/Illuminate/Database/Connectors/Connector.php(47): PDO->__construct('mysql:host=loca...', 'root', '', Array) #1 /home/booma/bayviewboom.org/getsimple/codoforum/sys/vendor/illuminate/database/Illuminate/Database/Connectors/MySqlConnector.php(20): Illuminate\Database\Connectors\Connector->createConnection('mysql:host=loca...', Array, Array) #2 /home/booma/bayviewboom.org/getsimple/codoforum/sys/vendor/illuminate/database/Illuminate/Database/Connectors/ConnectionFactory.php(59): Illuminate\Database\Connectors\MySqlConnector->connect(Array) #3 /home/booma/bayviewboom.org/getsimple/codoforum/sys/vendor/illuminate/database/Illuminate/Database/Connectors/ConnectionFactory.php(47): Illuminate\Database in /home/booma/bayviewboom.org/getsimple/codoforum/sys/vendor/illuminate/database/Illuminate/Database/Connectors/Connector.php on line 47

After waiting a few moments for my host to finish created the MySql database, the installer worked.

Hey, great job on the friendly, informative error messages!

Try saying:

"We can't find your database. Try again?"

Hi,

Yes, true that error message is not helpful at all.
We will make it more user-friendly.

Thanks
