Trying to access our forum home page.... and admincp.... and all we get is "Database Error, the database has encountered a problem". It will not open. I can get into the FTP location of the forum directory but everything seems to be in order? Our main website seems to be openning fine (Does not seem to be a host issue). Any input on where to start to try and troubleshoot this would be MUCH appreciated....... thanks!

The database error is just a friendly message, right click the page and view source to see the actual error which will help you diagnose from.

Here's what it says.... however I think I would have better luck decyphering a blank sheet of paper than this......

No need to copy the entire page.... Your error is listed in the main body. Right after the greek. :D
"Lost connection to MySQL server during query"
The explination for which is "The most common reason for the MySQL server has gone away error is that the server timed out and closed the connection."
I'd suggest restarting mysql and see if that fixes the issue. If you are on a shared server you should submit a trouble ticket so your host can investigate as this is a larger mysql error.
