    Hi I'm getting the following error when I view my page:

    Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (13) in /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/classes/database.php on line 24 Could not connect to host.
    Code (markup):
     

    Is anyone familiar with this? 

    Any help appreciated

    Ask your host provider to give you a working example
