Can't connect to local MySQL server....

[Laguna]

Error message I'm getting after my server was rebooted:

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) in /home/laguna/public_html/forums/admin/db_mysql.php on line 40


I've verified that mysqld is running as outlined in a similar thread from 3 days ago. It is running.

Error message is at www.offcamber.net/forums/admin


Thanks for any help...

This error means either MySQL crashed, it's not running or it can't find the socket. You need to contact your host about this. Here is more info on this error:

Thanks. Must've been my host, as the server dropped again and when it came back up, mysql began working again. I feel better.
