Hey Folks

Just installed ISPconfig and got to the point of telling it the MySQL server.

I get this wehn I enter local host.

Please enter your MySQL server:localhost
The MySQL server you specified cannot be reached!

I can connect to the MySQl with administrator and other programs just not this one

netstat -tap output is

I'd also add localhost.localdomain.

Please restart MySQL. Does

mysql -h localhost -u root -p

work?

Yes mysql -h localhost -u root -p works fine I've tried re-installing mysql and can't find a problem with it

What's the output of

ping -c2 localhost

? Do you have a firewall that prevents pings? Your firewall must allow pings.
