Ask you host to restart MySQL or if you have a VPS/Dedicated server, restart MySQL yourself.

I think he is implying that it is a problem with your database. I don't really understand what you mean by your second question. But I don't think its your fault if thats what your trying to ask.

The error is caused because the MySQL server is down. All you need to do is to restart it.

This error means either:
1. The info in your config.php file is wrong (in which case your forums wouldn't work at all), or
2. 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:
