For several days now, I get emails saying
mysql_connect() [<a href='function.mysql-connect'>function.mysql-connect</a>]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) /home/theneigh/public_html/includes/class_core.php on line 273
and then my forum will go down. I submitted a support ticket with my host and they said
This isn't actually a server error. This error is caused when a script is opening too many concurrent connections using the same mysql user, which in this case appears to be "theneigh_vb". Generally when this happens with the vBulletin script it is usually the result of a poorly coded add-on/modification, however this is not always the case.
I am desperate to know what the heck is wrong with my forum and why it keeps going down. Since this has started my forum has also taken a long time to load and refresh as well.
