    I have a vbulleting site trade4all.com but I keep getting database errors such as:
    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/tradlcom/public_html/vb/includes/class_core.php on line 311

    Do I need to switching hosting companies if some who should I go with I do have videos on my site.

    Try a aut DB repair if that is supported by your host,
    Try reinstalling the Vbulletin script

    Probably an installation or configuration issue with your script. Send the error report to the vendor.

    Strange,i don't encounter this problem since i use the legit copy.
    But last time i use the counterfeit copy and i did encounter the same error as you did.
    You should email your problem to vB and they will assist you in tackling this problem.

    It's an issue with MySQL on the server.

    If it was your code/config then you'd permanently see the error. I just browsed your site and temporarily saw the error on one of your php pages. Was working 15 seconds later. You'll need to get your host to sort that out asap.
