    Forum shut down, SQL error please help.

    Hello Everyone,

    I just don't know what happened to my forum, but i was trying to access it when i came across with this message below:
    General Error

    "SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ]

    Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) [2002]

    An sql error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact an administrator if this problem persists."

    Several of my users emailed me about it, and since i did not do anything to cause it, i don't where to look for an error. Anyone can tell me what this message means and how I can access my forum again? the address is www(.)frenchtasticpeople(.)com/phpbb3 (please remove the parentheses).

    Thanks so much for your help

    Herman

    Not shore but i have just been on a phpbb2 forum which is having trouble conecting to it's database. and when i checked there databases they had diappeared. might be a glitch would advise putting a support ticket just to see if there is a problem on your server. 74.86,118.19 was the server the forum i was trying to look at. check your databases in cpanel first before contacting them.

      I just submitted an support ticket. Also, i went into my cpanel as you recommended and while trying to access the Mysql Admin board, i couldn't and i got this message,

      #2002 - The server is not responding (or the local MySQL server's socket is not correctly configured)...I haven't touched anything, or any script, things were working fine before just 7 hours ago...wonder what may have gone wrong...thanks Alien.
