phpbb mysql server error ? help !?

« on: October 30, 2004, 01:39:33 AM »

I've been having problems with my website....this is what Im getting when I try accessing the forums:

i've received the following error that stopped me from accessing the phpbb forums:

Warning: mysql_connect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) in /home/escustom/public_html/azpocbb/db/mysql4.php on line 48

Warning: mysql_error(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/escustom/public_html/azpocbb/db/mysql4.php on line 330

Warning: mysql_errno(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/escustom/public_html/azpocbb/db/mysql4.php on line 331
phpBB : Critical Error

Could not connect to the database

I do not know much about php or the mysql databases...any help is appreciated....i think it is a problem somewhat related to sql server, since i tried doing a fresh installation of phpbb and was getting the same error while updating the config.php

Is this on a dedicated web host, or just a machine you have at your house? I don't know much about PHP and MySQL either, but here is my unknowledgable response!

Make sure you have a database available for you to use. (when i first got my website it tried setting up forums and i think i got that error and it was because they haden't set up my MySQL and PHP yet.)

Yeah, im not much help lol. Good luck Very Happy
