Been getting this error on a couple sites now... I appreciate any help.

See this page for the causes of this error: http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/cantconnect

I checked that link, however everything is fine on the server end... I am getting a ton of error emails daily, however when I go to the site I don't get them.... They are very random....

The server is not fine if you are getting a ton of those errors. You may want to ask your host for help fixing this issue.

hmmm. not sure why they are coming in randomly. I'll see what I can find.

Don't this part:

[<a href='function.mysql-connect'>function.mysql-connect</a>]:

Everything seems to be working OK forum side but I sometimes receive this error in my inbox.
