First, sorry for my english (i'm not).

Yesterday, i wanted to access to my forum, but i saw database error in the index page, so i I logged on my mailbox (gmail) and vbulletin (my forum) sent me some errors for database like this :

Database error in vBulletin :

                        WHERE thread.threadid = 406;

So after i saw those errors, i went to my host and connect to mysql database using phpmyadmin and miraculously, my forum was now accessible and on...

I just wanted to know what are those errors and what i have to do to avoid this in the future.

Thank you for your help.

Those have to do with your server configuration and not vbulletin. If it only happened once, I wouldn't worry about it. If it continues to happen you should contact your host and ask them about it.

Ok i have this problem now :

Database error in vBulletin :

mysql_connect() [<a href='function.mysql-connect'>function.mysql-connect</a>]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (11)

When i want to connect to mysql using phpmyadmin, the page does not load, it comes from there ?

It sounds to me like maybe your mysql server isn't running.

So i have to contact my host ?

mysqluser (it's not the real mysql username) already has more than 'max_user_connections' active connections ?
What it means ?
