Recently for the last two weeks i would say I have been getting this error randomly:

Database error in vBulletin :

Link-ID == false, connect failed
mysql error: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)

mysql error number: 2002

I have talked to the people from vBulletin and they have stated it is a host problem, not the bulletin board.

Tonight alone I have received 5-6 emails regarding this error. As I've said I've been getting them 1-2 at a time randomly throughout the last week or so. Can anyone shine some light on this subject?


Kind Regards,

-Michael

This will happen any time the sql server is down. Tonights occurances were for quick restart while we were changing mysql root passwords to enhance security. It is also possible that this can happen at certain times during backups.
