MySQL server error

[Artemisia]

when I do a search here I get the following error:


Warning: mysql_pconnect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) in /home/eqtrader/public_html/library/mysql.php on line 156

It seems to be working normally for me, so it could be just a transient error. Still, just in case, what are the exact steps you did to cause this error message?

I get those once in a blue moon and is probably caused by hiccups somewhere between your computer and the server which this site resides on. Usually it clears up if you try again in a few min.

Nothing special inserted search in search box, hit button and got that, fixed itself when I tried again 5-10 min later. Just thought I'd let you know.

Like I said, it's probably a transient error. Sometimes the servers hiccup for a few moments then fix themselves.

The bolded part is the key

For some reason the MySQL server could not be contacted. Usually it is just a "burp" and you can try again in a minute

The rest of the errors are just related errors because of additions queries or queries that depended on queries that failed

Burps...hiccups...someone get that server an Alka Seltzer!
