Adv. Guestbook MySQL Connection Error

Hello....I was adding the mod for 'logging the IP rather than the hostname' on the guestbooks I maintain. I got to guestbook number 4, edited the add.class.php file and uploaded it. I then opened the guestbook in my browser and I got this error.....

Warning: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) in /home/***/public_html/guestbook/lib/mysql.class.php on line 30

Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) in /home/***/public_html/guestbook/lib/mysql.class.php on line 30
Connection Error

I didn't have a problem with the first 3 books so I wonder if this is a server problem instead of from editing the add.class.php file? I haven't looked at that guestbook for awhile. The server is using PHP Version : 4.1.1

Any ideas? Thanks for any help

Are you sure you have the path to the document root set correctly? Seems the most likely problem. Are all the other guestbooks on the same webhost?

I always run a little basedir script to get this information correct from webhost to webhost - saves me a lot of work and frustrations.

download the files again and reupload the original of the file you editted. If it still errors then we know it was your host.

Thanks for the replies....the book that is erroring, is on a different server than the others. I think the server is the problem now, as I can't login into phpMyAdmin. I'm getting an error there too. Time to fire off an email to support

thanks again

Yep - probably a server / host issue - especially if the script was working fine and the only thing you were doing was modifying a few lines.... The only other time I will see that error is if a webmangler changes his account password but doesn't change the password in a script's config file that contains the MySql path and password....
