Database help for calendar

[wilcotaru]

I have a PHP calendar set up on my website. When i try to run the ADODB install program it asks me to create a database and enter my username and password. i do and then i get this error.

Warning: mysql_connect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) in /home/content/a/k/i/akinsford/html/php-calendar/adodb/drivers/adodb-mysql.inc.php on line 355
Software Error
Message:

Could not connect to the database
