Anyone else get this problem?

I have received this message about five or six times over the last two hours:

Warning: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (61) in /usr/www/users/ixl/vb/admin/db_mysql.php on line 40

Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (61) in /usr/www/users/ixl/vb/admin/db_mysql.php on line 40



There seems to have been a slight problem with the database.

Has anyone else got this message when trying to access the forums?

Yep! Several times ol' buddy....This too shall pass. :D (We hope)

[malcore]

It does pass quickly, but has returned also.

I know the forums will slow down from time to time but I have never got this message before.

Thanks jabar, confusion enjoys company.;)

I've been getting this message on and off for about a week.

Maybe mjc knows what's going on??

Nope, I don't know, but Charles has been notified.

Steve, if you start getting those kind of messages, drop a note or PM to the mods.



I just heard back from Charles,


The SQL daemon failed and until it restarts we get these errors. It should be okay soon.


So it should get better soon.
