Getting "vBulletin Database Error!" ... Help please! :(

[Lyte]

Howdy,

I recently had a template/skin placed on my site (www.pc101.com) and in the process we started getting these kinds of error messages...

Database error in vBulletin :

mysql_connect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
/home/pc101/public_html/includes/class_core.php on line 273

MySQL Error :

and....

What does this mean?? Please advise as I'm totally clueless.

Also... I'm a little confused by http://www.pc101.com/index.php v.s. http://www.pc101.com/ ... which has a PR5. Does it matter which one I use for marketing or directing search engines???


Many thanks in advance!

Thanks!

(Re)start you mySQL-Server. If this doesn't help, check your mySQL config.

Okay, call me dense but... what's my "SQL-Server?" And... my "SQLconfig?"

Thanks!

Ask your host to restart MySQL.

Ask your host to restart MySQL.

Thanks. I did, I hope this helps! :)

I'm still curious though... what's my "SQL-Server?" And... my "SQLconfig?"

Thanks again!

Same error here...hundreds of them. I didn't edit class_core.php, either. I just upgraded to v3.52 and it's still happening. My site is still working fine. It's just an annoyance getting all of those error e-mails.

Well, it appears that what was causing my errors were some corrupt e-mail messages. I have my web host e-mail being forwarded via POP3 to my Outlook. So, I don't check my web host e-mail that often. So, I figured I'd check it out on the whim that there might be a corrupt message that just keeps spewing out copies of itself. I deleted all error e-mails like this and, sure enough, I haven't gotten any more error messages. This was a couple of hours ago. Previously, I was getting error messages every few minutes. What also tipped me off that there might be corrupt messages is that they would show up in my Outlook with the same date and time. I hope this helps anyone else out that's having this problem.
