Attempting to attach to database
Error description: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect (http://suggestaforum.com/install/function.mysql-connect)]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) /mounted-storage/home74a/sub002/sc42888-NUPN/www/includes/class_core.php on line 274
The database has failed to connect because you do not have permission to connect to the server. Please confirm the values entered in the 'includes/config.php' file.

Assuming that the MySQL server is running, the most likely cause of this error is that the info in your config.php file is wrong or your db user does not have full permissions to this database. Please read this for all the known causes of this error:
