Alright well, I edited my vBulletin config.php uploaded it to my FTP. Ran the installation... But at step 2, when it connects to the database I get an error..

Here's the error..

Error description: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) /homepages/45/d233038124/htdocs/forum/includes/class_core.php on line 274

I can't figure out what's wrong.

Help please?

That error would indicate one of two things, your host uses multiple mysql servers and you ahve set the host incorrectly in the config.php or the local mysql server is not running.

Typically on most bloated cheap hosts, when you create a new mysql database from their hosting admin panel, it will tell what server its created on, go to your host admin panel and recheck what mysql server the new db is on.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
