Please check that you have configured and installed this system correctly."</em></p> <p>A likely cause is that "localhost" is not recognised as the address for your MySQL server. If this occurs, open <strong>sc_config.php</strong> and try setting the $server variable to "127.0.0.1". It should now connect successfully.</p> <p>This is a <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=mysql+localhost+127.0.0.1">well known MySQL issue</a>, not a particular fault of simpleContact.</p> <p><strong>Please note:</strong> You should restore the $server variable to "localhost" (or the specific address of your database server) before uploading it to your website. </p> http://www.alex-hardy.co.uk/forums/topic/which-web-browsers-are-simplecontact-compatible-with#post-3 Wed, 20 Feb 2008 00:20:40 +0000 Alex 3@http://www.alex-hardy.co.uk/forums/ <p>simpleContact has been built with web standards.
