Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111) in /home/fiendwor/public_html/forum/admin/db_mysql.php on line 40

I havent touched this file at all, & I have no clue why it has an error in it.

I went into the file & found line 40 [using EditPlus]

This is line 40

PHP Code:

          $this->link_id=mysql_connect($this->server,$this->user,$this->password); 


& here are the codes surrounding it -

PHP Code:

  function connect() {
    global $usepconnect;
    // connect to db server

    if ( 0 == $this->link_id ) {
      if ($this->password=="") {
        if ($usepconnect==1) {
          $this->link_id=mysql_pconnect($this->server,$this->user);
        } else {
          $this->link_id=mysql_connect($this->server,$this->user);
        }
      } else {
        if ($usepconnect==1) {
          $this->link_id=mysql_pconnect($this->server,$this->user,$this->password);
        } else {
          $this->link_id=mysql_connect($this->server,$this->user,$this->password);
        }
      }
      if (!$this->link_id) {
        $this->halt("Link-ID == false, connect failed");
      }
      if ($this->database!="") {
        if(!mysql_select_db($this->database, $this->link_id)) {
          $this->halt("cannot use database ".$this->database);
        }
      }
    }
