Topic: An Error Has Occured

I get this error from time to time visiting the PunBB forums and my friends have reported it on my forum every now and again.

Error: Unable to connect to MySQL server. MySQL reported: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (61).

Re: An Error Has Occured

it means php can't connect to mysql i think, probably (in the case of this server) because it is too busy

Re: An Error Has Occured
