Database error - Main page will not show

[scrap19]

Hello,

All of a sudden when I went to my main site page www.musicboards.com it immediately said Database error. I was just on the site 5 min prior and everything was ok. I did not do any changes or upgrades any time soon.

I right clicked on the homepage to see error and it says:

<!--
Database error in vBulletin :

mysql_connect() [&lt;a href='function.mysql-connect'&gt;function.mysql-connect&lt;/a&gt;]: Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 113
/services3/webpages/m/u/musicboards.com/public/includes/class_core.php on line 311

Any idea of what this means and how to fix it?

Thanks

FYI: This is a server issue. See this post for the possible causes of a lost connection error:
