Server not known by Concrete5
Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hello everyone,
I have a problem during installation of Concrete5. My client have his database on the server adress "localhost:3306" and Concrete don't accept the insllation because it doesn't know this adress.
What can I do to resolve this? Anyone lived that case before?
Thanks you!!

I think 3306 is the default port. Have you tried leaving off the :3306? That works for me.
localhost is a reference to the local system.
That's normally not accessible through the internet.
You would need a public ip or dns registered name for that.
Normally you would only use localhost for development on a local machine.
In a hosting situation that mostly does not work.
Or it is on a VPS (Virtual Private Server), then it could work.

have your tried using 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost? 3306 is the default MySQL port, so you should not need to specify that unless your environment is rather strange.
