Database error in vBulletin :

mysql_connect() [<a href='function.mysql-connect'>function.mysql-connect</a>]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)

Do you get database errors often?
Also, any modifications installed?

[chiris627]

I install vbulletin 3.6.7 and failure since then, help me that I can do or that I do

That's a server error - basically telling you mysql is not running. Speak to your host.

I get em as well, server is never actually offlined - I just receive those errors on mail. Currently running 3.6.8 (incl. the later corrections) with - apart from vbAvanced cmps - no mods installed.

This can also be a issue with the following settings in my.cnf, unless you have root access, you will have to ask your host to possibly look into it more and change the following setting to see if it helps.

max_connections = 350

It could also be a slow connection and its simply timing out, bad script/hack installed.

connect_timeout = 5

Raising the limit on those could solve your issue.

Did anybody figure out this problem? I'm currently getting the same error only when I attempt to run my forum on PHP 5.
