Adcycle install problems

[B24]

Has anyone here ever installed Adcycle?[nbsp][nbsp]I'm have a little trouble getting it to install.[nbsp][nbsp]

Whenever I run build.cgi from telnet I get the following error -
DBI->connect(xsntickers) failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock'[nbsp][nbsp](111) at AdConfig.pm line 162[nbsp][nbsp]Can't call method "prepare" on an undefined value at build.cgi line 107.

The username and password for the script is ok and I tried to manually log on to MySQL and was able to.[nbsp][nbsp]I just can't figure it out.[nbsp][nbsp]I'm still a newbie at this.

Thanks for any help.

Offtopic-

Just wondering where you get your headlines from?[nbsp][nbsp]Are they syndicated?[nbsp][nbsp]Email me with details.

Your e-mail isn't listed. lol

The headlines on my site right now are just "dummy" headlines to see how things look.[nbsp][nbsp]Whenever my site opens, the headlines will come from sites like yours.[nbsp][nbsp]It's basically like getting free advertising for your stories.[nbsp][nbsp]Anyone who displays one of my sports tickers on their site will be able to submit story headlines and the url to the story to me to be added to the ticker.[nbsp][nbsp]The tickers will come in the form of Flash and Javascript.[nbsp][nbsp]

DBI::DBD (MySQL) is a blast to work in...[nbsp][nbsp]I actually prefer it over PHP, but only because some of the idiomatic contortions that perl let's me get away with... ;)

The answer to your question is simply that you have forgotten to fully build your connect DSN...

Your journey begins now on how to actually implement the given answer...

Thank you very much.[nbsp][nbsp]Problem solved.[nbsp][nbsp]I can't believe I forgot something like that.[nbsp][nbsp]Lack of sleep may be the problem. lol

Thanks again,
