MyBB has experienced an internal SQL error and cannot continue.

SQL Error:
2002 - Connection refused

Query:
[READ] Unable to connect to MySQL server

Any help on what to do? I've already re-CHMODed the proper directories

As well, this shows up when I try to activate/install a plugin

MyBB has experienced an internal SQL error and cannot continue.

SQL Error:
1366 - Incorrect integer value: 'NULL' for column 'gid' at row 1
Query:
INSERT INTO mybb_settinggroups (`gid`,`name`,`title`,`description`,`disporder`,`isdefault`) VALUES ('NULL','fimybb_group','Footer Injection for MyBB','Settings for Footer Injection for MyBB plugin','1','no')

first issue is not related to MyBB. if it persists then contact your web host.

for the specific plugin related issue, open the plugin file in a code editor (eg. notepad++)
find below code, change 'NULL' to '0' and save the file & use it

INSERT INTO mybb_settinggroups (`gid`,`name`,`title`,`description`,`disporder`,`isdefault`) VALUES ('NULL','fimybb_group','Footer Injection for MyBB','Settings for Footer Injection for MyBB plugin','1','no')

I also get this once in awhile. But I try other ways..and get in..
