    Hello,

    i have no solution for: MailPoet Error: Unable to connect to the database (the database is unable to open a file or folder), the connection is likely not configured correctly. Please read our Knowledge Base article for steps how to resolve it.

    the help on:
    https://beta.docs.mailpoet.com/article/200-solving-database-connection-issues

    brings not the solution.

    In my wp-config.php ist /** MySQL hostname */
    define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘rdbms.strato.de:’);

    that ist impossible to change to 127.0.0.1, otherwise nothing is work.

    Your solution 2 help also not. There is no mysql.sock and no php.ini

    any help please?

    Sincerly
    Thomas

  • We’re exchanging by email. Closing this issue for now.

    Why would you communicate in private instead of allowing the rest of the community see if you have a solution and what that solution might be? I have exactly the same issue. I have used MailChimp in the past and had no issues. I was exploring MailPoet at the request of a colleague. This does not bode well.

    Hello, I have this same exact error when trying to use MailPoet3. Would you be so kind as to share your solution publicly?

    Exact same problem. apparently, this is a fairly common issue and should be open resolved.

    Hello, I fourth that. I’m having the same issue. MailPoet’s help files are useless. I’ve banged my head on this for too long now and am moving to another mail program. What a shame, I liked MP.

    Even worse? MP staff doen’t publish the solution or even correspondence for this issue publicly.

    Same issue:
    “MailPoet Error: Unable to connect to the database (the database is unable to open a file or folder), the connection is likely not configured correctly”… would be beneficial or plugin author to add link to this thread to solution or join thread/re-open.

    Same problem here, also with STRATO. Hello @mailpoet, this is NOT solved until you publish the solution here!

    I have the same issue. I was hopeful when I saw this topic. Same frustration that the answer isn’t published for the general public.

    my solution:

    Your DB_HOST was set to “rdbms.strato.de:” (see the colon after .de?) I removed the extra colon and things work fine now.
