Host only allows access through localhost

Yeah, that's related to using the mysql driver (not mysqli) with mysql 4.1.  Though, I could've sworn that it gave a better error than the standard "can't connect" message in that case.

That's correct.  It's a flaw in the php/mysql combinartion.  We try to handle it as best as we can, but it doesn't always work without some kind of intervention.

Whew.  I tried to follow the last few posts, but must admit that they are over my head.  So, is there any hope for me to get this installed with my current host provider?  I really hope so because they are a major hosting company and I often resell packages to my clients.  I would love to use the CMS on client sites as well!

Probably not the problem you're experiencing, but it might be worth a try anyway...

I had a similar "can't connect to db" problem yesterday and found this worked (last post): http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... 810.0.html
