DB connect error 2002

[wishbone]

My site was running fine, until I tried to get some mysql queries running inside a template (via include).

I got internal server error, and also a DB connect 2002 one.

I put on debug mode which gave me errors already on normal files (without mysql query).

After that, site is down, I can#t even log in into the backend.

I only get: "Unable to complete this request due to an error. Error has been logged."

The error log says:

"Error:     Exception: DB connect error 2002 - Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) (in /mnt/web6/d3/52/51421252/htdocs/wire/core/ProcessWire.php line 96)"

no clue where to search...

hi wishbone i don't know if this helps you but

thank you, but it's not a local install...

[sakkoulas]

sorry!

maybe some other member can help you like soma or diogo

[wishbone]

it's a running site... I'm desperate...

Looks like it can't connect to the db anymore. What sql did you run? This doesnt look like PW is the root of the problem. Have restarted apache and mysql server?

[wishbone]

it is not local - how can I restart anything on provider side?

mysql says 5.5.27, client Api 5.0.91. php 5.2.17

It was caused by PW as described...

[wishbone]

is it a good idea to copy original files to the wire directory?

I really don't know where the mistake could be

[wishbone]

got it! after sleeping, solutions often appear...

everybody was talking about local installs with that error, so I controlled the DBHost.

had the config.php overwritten with the local copy, when I put on the debug mode...

Where can I mark the thread as solved?
