Installation problems - please help!

Hello, I've been trying to get zenphoto installed on my website, and the process is very discouraging. The problems (warnings) I encountered are as follows:

1)

PHP magic_quotes_gpc [is enabled]
Warning!
You should consider disabling magic_quotes_gpc. For more information See What is magic_quotes_gpc and why should it be disabled? in the Zenphoto troubleshooting guide.

-->I followed the troubleshooting guide by adding "php_value magic_quotes_gpc off" in my zenphoto .htaccess file (Is it ok to copy and paste anywhere in the file?) and re-uploaded it to zp-core folder. But that didn't change anything. I still get the same warning message. Did I miss something?

2)

Database setup in zp-config.php
Error!
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)

-->I have no clue what went wrong here or how to fix it... :s

3)

Zenphoto core files [Some files are missing or seem wrong]
Warning!

Perhaps there was a problem with the upload. You should check the following files:
themes/stopdesign/404.php
themes/stopdesign/album.php
themes/stopdesign/comment.php
...
themes/zenpage/404.php
themes/zenpage/album.php
themes/zenpage/archive.php
themes/zenpage/contact.php
...

-->This is the strangest problem. Those files it lists aren't missing at all, and I've tried to delete the folder and re-upload it again, but still it says those files are missing or wrong. So what could be wrong?

Any help or suggestion will be appreciated.

    1. If your host allows setting this value via htaccess it must of course be done on Zenphoto's root htaccess file. A htaccess file in /zp-core does basically nothing. The call should be at the beginning fo the file. Ask your host if unsure.

    2. The MySQL database credentials are wrong. Ask your host if unsure about these.

    3. These are warnings and are not about missing but wrong files. This can happen if upgrading or if uploading takes longer so these are in another time range. You could reupload these files to be sure.
