Database Error???

[Shaven]

aight my site.. http://latruckscene.net has a database error... and i called yahoo (the host) about the MySQL and they said that there isn't anything they can do... to possibly get in contact with you guys.

Maybe I could get help with this... i also get emails like this...

Database error in vBulletin :

mysql_connect(): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'mysql' (13)
/forum/includes/class_core.php on line 274

if you can help it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Shaven

I would double check your mysql user name and also the password.

For some reason it's not giving the error code like it should.

If this still doesn't work then ask your hosting company to take a look because without more info from an error code we would just be guessing.
