mySQL Error Number: 2005

[Kosmo]

I get the following database errors off and on. I'm on a dedicated server and my mySQL host name is correct so what could be the problem here?

I usually only get these every once in a while, but on 5-7-04 I got 47 of these errors with different refere's on most.

Database error in vBulletin :

Link-ID == false, connect failed
mysql error: Unknown MySQL Server Host 'www.bettorschat.com' (11)

MySQL was down or cannot connect to your host, unless you are hosting mysql on another server you should leavel serverhost as localhost

[Kosmo]

Is there a reason for leaving it named localhost?

Also is there anyway to speed up the forum?

[Zachery]

localhost is always 127.0.0.1, and that is your own server, just leave it as localhost unless you have a reason to change it.

Depends, do you own the server your on?

[Kosmo]

Yes, I do own the server

Then i suggest posting in the server configureation forum and asking Eva2000 to optimize your server
