Hey, I'm not sure why but I keep getting an error for my site which says to try and get information here. 

MyBB has experienced an internal SQL error and cannot continue.
SQL Error:2002 - Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)Query:[READ] Unable to connect to MySQL server
Please contact the MyBB Group for technical support.


Any Ideas as to what I can do? 

First verify that MySQL is up and running on your server. If it is then I would go ahead and check your MyBB config file to make sure the MySQL info is correct. Try adding a new user to the DB and update the config file to see if that changes anything.
