Hello,
I've just made my first form and while it works on my host providers server, it doesn't on my local MAMP for windows setup. After trying really hard to sort this, I have to throw my hands up.... best I can figure is it's something to do with pdo_mysql.default_socket path but I'm not sure how to fix it.

I run a php file on my mamp server with:

<?php
print_r(get_loaded_extensions());
?>

Which outputs:

Array ( [0] => Core [1] => bcmath [2] => calendar [3] => com_dotnet [4] => ctype [5] => date [6] => ereg [7] => filter [8] => hash [9] => iconv [10] => json [11] => mcrypt [12] => SPL [13] => odbc [14] => pcre [15] => Reflection [16] => session [17] => sockets [18] => standard [19] => mysqlnd [20] => tidy [21] => tokenizer [22] => zip [23] => zlib [24] => libxml [25] => dom [26] => PDO [27] => pdo_mysql [28] => bz2 [29] => SimpleXML [30] => soap [31] => wddx [32] => xml [33] => xmlreader [34] => xmlwriter [35] => apache2handler [36] => openssl [37] => fileinfo [38] => gd [39] => mbstring [40] => exif [41] => mysql [42] => mysqli [43] => pdo_sqlite [44] => sqlite3 [45] => curl [46] => Phar [47] => imagick )

Comparing phpinfo() on my remote host and my mamp, I see this difference under pdo_mysql:

pdo_mysql.default_socket /var/tmp/mysql.sock /var/tmp/mysql.sock (on my host provider and missing from mamp)

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Regards.


pdo_mysql.default_socket

Are you using the iframe script as provided by the form builder? If so remove the script wrapping it and see if that fixes the issue.

Hey Eric,

Thank you for that!

I have removed the following and the basic iframe works.

<script type="text/javascript">document.write(unescape("%3Ciframe id=\"fb_iframe\" src=\"Inquiry_form_coffeecup.php" + window.location.search + "\" width=\"100%\" height=\"763\"allowtransparency=\"true\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\"%3E&lt;a href=\"Inquiry_form_coffeecup.php\" title=\"Inquiry_form_coffeecup\"&gt;Check out my CoffeeCup Form&lt;/a&gt;%3C/iframe%3E"));</script>
<noscript>
</noscript>

Just to help me understand better, what is going on that the script wrapper won't work?

Oh and is having the basic iframe sufficient? Just would like to get why both options are added and the script as 1st option?

Actually no the form shows now on mamp and host provider but it won't store to database. I've double checked the login details and they are correct.

Sorry for all these posts! I just tried again with a user with max permissions and it worked. What are the minimum permission required for the mysql user?

The permissions thing was next. Glad you got it working.
