Database error

[hdtvworld]

Hi Folks,

After some time we get the following database error. All the users are kicked from the forum. I cannot find anything about this problem. We are running vbulletin 3.6.8. Is this a vbulletin problem are something with the host where de site is running.


Database errorThe $vboptions[bbtitle] database has encountered a problem.Please try the following:

• Load the page again by clicking the Refresh button in your web browser.
• Open the $_SERVER[HTTP_HOST] home page, then try to open another page.
• Click the Back button to try another link.

The $_SERVER[HTTP_HOST] forum technical staff have been notified of the error, though you may contact them if the problem persists.
We apologise for any inconvenience.$message

We need to see the real error message. Right-click on the error page and go to View/Source. Then copy-n-paste the error message here.

Sorry to piggyback on this, but it relates. We're getting this one (I generalized the site URL, as you can see):

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/site/public_html/forum/includes/class_core.php on line 274

And then in the list that follows, it shows whatever pages were trying to be viewed for "Script" and "Referrer" -- including the adminCP.

It only lasts a few minutes.

Any thoughts? Thanks.
