Lately I've been getting a lot of VB errors. Any idea on the following example?

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) /home/themesbb/public_html/t4bbforum/includes/class_core.php on line 274

MySQL Error :
Error Number :

Referrer : Theme Icons & Tools - Themes4BB.com Forums

I've contacted my host several times, and the have bumped the number of connections to the MySQL up to 100 (the max) and I still get this error. And it always refers to the PHP line 274. I'm not a PHP expert, so I am not sure if the line is correct or not.

Any input would be appreciated.

I'm surprise no one has come to the rescue yet. Sorry I can't offer any help, but did you get this fixed?

It is a host problem. Contact your host and give them the error.

Problem with connecting to the MYSQL server, like Mike said, contact your host.

I've contacted my host SEVERAL times. Like I said before..they increased the number of connections to the max (100)..and I still receive this error now and then... It is really frustrating..

thanks for your input.

I'd get a new host ;)

Sorry, I'm sure this isn't what you wanted to hear, but that's the best answer I can give.

It's not a problem of the number of connections. Mysql can have thousands a time if the server has resources. You're on a server that can't handle it anymore and general load is to high, and then server starts to limit all kinda services just to survive and the problem you have is one of the limitations when overloaded. What you can say as oversold hosting on that server. Time to move.

How many users do you have online simultaneously? Have you installed any shoutbox hack or any other hacks recently?

In any case I agree with Brandon, its time to switch hosts. I am also switching hosts because my host have been having problems for past four days and that is enough for me!

Yup, can't agree more here. You're getting shortchanged here. What host are you running on? So I can run away from them!

I do have a shoutbox mod on my forum...could that be the issue? If so I will uninstall it. Having my forum up and running is more important than a shoutbox.

Thanks for the info!
