CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi. I'm running CMS Made Simple 2.2.3.1. PHP version is 5.5.38 I am running Gbook 2.2.4

After upgrading from CMS 2.1.6 to 2.2.3.1, I noticed that I could no longer create or manage existing guestbooks from the CMS content admin console.

I am getting the following error whenever I click Guestbook in the Content of CMS Admin Console:

==========================================
Entries
Guestbooks
Smileys
Templates
Options
Could not initialize b8.
Error message: Unknown MySQL server host 'localhost:3306' (-5)
==========================================

However, the guestbook is still viewable from within my website with no problems

Thanks for any feedback.

I think it might be related to this bugreport: http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/bug/view/11042

can you confirm if it works when you disable the db_port setting in config.php?

Hi Jos,

This is confirmed. Commenting out the db_port setting in config.php solved the issue.
Marking this issue as solved. Thanks.
