blank page after installing 3.8.0 or 3.7.5

Monday 22 May 2006 3:25:34 pm

I tried several times to install ez_publish.

Everytime the installation works great and than, when i log in as admin or as user, i get a blank page.
in the error.log is written
[ Mai 23 2006 00:06:26 ] [xxx.xxx.xx.xx] eZMySQLDB:
Connection error: Couldn't connect to database. Please try again later or inform the system administrator.
Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

I've no idea why, because in my settings/siteaccess/name_of_my_site/site.ini.append.php
i see the correct user and password and not "root".

in a old topic i read that there are some problems with php 4.4.2. so i installed php 4.4.1 but it doesn't help.

any idea?

No, there are no settings in that file.

I think it is a port/socket problem.
If i start

netstat -a

ther is no mysql service.
I run a vserver from 1&1 with plesk and if i look at the database-server info from plesk i see:

Host name or IP address *  	localhost
Port number 	(local connection)
Database server type 	MySQL
Use this server as default for MySQL 	Yes

so there is no port number.
As i know i can use for the MySQL server communication port 3306 or unix socket. I now tried to connect the mysql server via socket.
So i edit the site.ini.append.php.
it now looks like

[DatabaseSettings]
DatabaseImplementation=ezmysql
Server=localhost
User=*****
Password=*****
Database=ez_publish
Charset=
Socket=enabled
SQLOutput=enabled

Now i don't get that blank page, but a page with a error message:

Connection error: Couldn't connect to database. Please try again later or inform the system administrator.
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket 'enabled' (2)

any idea?

fixed it.

the problem was quite simple.
i have a vhost and the RewriteRule need a index.php in

../httpdocs/

and i had the ez_files in

../httpdocs/ez_publish-3.7.5/

!
thats all. no everything works fine.
