Revo 2.0.0-pl on 1and1 Dedicated with MySQL5 install problem

Apologies, completely forgot about this thread!

The issue was, as stated above, the comfusing naming convention used by 1&1. The client was giving me the wrong details. D’oh!

Thanks for this lutenegger, works a treat

Hello,

I'm having the same issue:

Connecting to database server:
Could not connect to the database server. Check the connection properties and try again.

[2012-02-11 19:39:55] (ERROR in xPDOConnection::connect @ /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/learningMODx/modx-2.2.0-pl2/core/xpdo/xpdo.class.php : 2955) SQLSTATE[28000] [1045] Access denied for user 'learningmodx'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

I tried the localhost;unix_socket=/tmp/mysql5.sock fix, but it didn't work for me. PLEASE HELP!
I am largely beginner, so explicit instruction would be greatly appreciated. I'm on a Mac, if that makes a difference. Thank you!!

thanks for this thread! helped me a lot:

@carlyrene:
Try something like this:
dbXXXXXXXXX.db.1and1.com;unix_socket=/tmp/mysql5.sock
- just change localhost with your database server.
