Error while installing SugarCRM RC 5.1.0 CE in Ubuntu

[domenico1983]

Hi,
I am trying to install SugarCRM 5.1.0RC CE in Ubuntu 8.04. I am using webserver Lighttpd. I have inserted SugarCRM code into www folder and now I'm installing the software...but I have had this error:

The provided database username and/or password is invalid, and a connection to the database could not be established. Please enter a valid user name and password. 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)).

Could you help me to solve it?

Kind regards,

Domenico

Well, first off, is mysql running? If so, it just sounds as if you don't have, or didn't supply, a valid user/password combo to have Sugar install itself.

I have solved the problem..there is another webserver with mysql in my machine and Sugar was using that instance of mysql! I have solved removing the old webserver
