Installation Problems! again... lol.

[Napster6]

So I am trying to install forums again. I am having problems with the config.php file but can't remember what I did the first time.

Background here.

Using Servage, I have a MYSQL setup, seperate FTP server,
So I need to upload some files into the MYSQL first? I didnt think so but the error I am getting is as follows

Attempting to attach to database

Error description: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (13) /mounted-storage/home119c/sub006/sc67362-TFJU/MYSITE.COM/forum/includes/class_core.php on line 311

The database has failed to connect because you do not have permission to connect to the server. Please confirm the values entered in the 'includes/config.php' file.

The things I have changed are as follows

$config['Database']['dbname'] = 'fineridez';

$config['Database']['technicalemail'] = 'admin@fineridez.com';

$config['Database']['force_sql_mode'] = true;

$config['MasterServer']['servername'] = 'mysql1032.servage.net';

$config['MasterServer']['username'] = 'fineridez';
$config['MasterServer']['password'] = '*******';

I havn't touched anything else. Any ideas? Im gonna assume its a noob problem lol. Thanks guys, much appreciated
