wsod php error model.php

SQLSTATE[HY000] [2005] Unknown MySQL server host 'localhost:/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (3)
Fatal error: Call to a member function _prefixTable() on a non-object in /var/www/vhosts/domain-name.com/httpdocs/newsite/administrator/components/com_chronocontact/libs/model.php on line 52

I am in the process of migrating a site from 1.5 to 2.5 (hence /newsite/ subfolder) and wanted to try out the new chronocontact. I get this error on the component page.

Switching from 'localhost:/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' to 'localhost' as the server entry in global config fixed the wsod, although this should not be happening.

Hi vistech,

Glad to see you got it working. I'd expect that anything after localhost: would be treated as a port name - but I'm certainly not an expert here :-(

I've never had any issues with any other component using a socket connection instead of port and that includes chronoforms. This must be a bug in chronocontact.

Hi Vistech,

As far as I know ChronoForms just uses the Joomla! DB class.

Ah, sorry just noticed that this is ChronoContact too. I've no idea how that works.

Which global config ? the Joomla global config ?

Thanks!

Yes

Actually I didn't see a host string in this format before but will try to find a permanent solution.

Thanks!

I install ChronoForums on Joomla! 3.1.5 and I get this same error message:

SQLSTATE[HY000] [2005] Unknown MySQL server host 'sql104.byetcluster.com:' (3)

GreyHead have no idea, what about you Admin?
