MDB2 Error: connect failed

I have switched my website with all folders and files to a another webhoster. All the new data like mysql password and db name I have changed. All mysql tables of the old account were migrated to the new database. The communication with the new web adress is okay and everything works fine.
But when I try to integrate an image or a file with the html editor by clicking the server button I get this message:
Error
MDB2 Error: connect failed
connect: [Error message: unable to establish a connection] [Native code: 0] ** mysql(mysql)://dbo382676750:xxx@localhost/tmp/mysql5.sock
I have checked the configuration.php of kfm but there are no mistakes. Even I changed localhost to 127.0.0.1 but the error massage is changing to ...@127.0.0.1/... only.

this error means that the information for connecting to the mysql server in the Connections/<yourConnectionFile>.php file is not correct. It may be the database server name, user name, password or database name that is entered wrong, but something is not right.


double check with the host for the correct information needed to connect to the MySQL Server. My Guess is the MySQL Server Name is not correct, your host will be to tell you what should be used.

I think the values in my Connections/datenbank.php are correct. Every communication of the website with the mysql db is working fine without any message of mistakes.
Could it be a solution if I delete all kfm tables and files of the editor to make a new automatic installation?

I have this problem too. The connection file is correct as I have other database content being queried successfully, but clicking the image icon or using the file manager gives me this error message.

Was a solution found?

  I just encountered this problem for the first time. Was any cause determined?  

Solved, but not sure why this occurred. The file webassist/kfm/configuration.php had the wrong name for the connection file. It said localhost.php instead of [my connection name].php and there was no db, username, or password entered below in the KFM configuration nor any adjustment to make the kfm configuration use the values from the connection file. Not sure why, and I could not find any place to adjust these in the HTMLEditor presets.

I too am getting this error. I have tried the above fix's but still not able to upload images. A 'sister' site to this one has the image upload option working fine?

what is the error you are getting?

what version of PHP does the site use? the file manager needs to use php 5.3 or greater.

Error
MDB2 Error: connect failed
connect: [Error message: unable to establish a connection] [Native code: 0] ** mysql(mysql)://(database username):xxx@db2/

The configuration.php has the correct information for the database. The program works correctly on another site using the same program and database, so I don't think there is a php problem.
