Can someone help me out here. My site is giving the following data base error. What does it mean exactly

Database error in vBulletin :

/home/redsoxna/public_html/includes/class_core.php on line 317

MySQL Error :

I think the connection failed (which happens before the user/password is checked). It could be that the socket (and/or the host name) is wrong, or if it was working before and you haven't changed anything, it may be that the database server isn't running.
