just got this error today:     

MyBB has experienced an internal SQL error and cannot continue.
SQL Error: 2002 - No such file or directory Query: [READ] Unable to connect to MySQL server
Please contact the MyBB Group for technical support.


I have made no changes in months

I am 1 rev behind the latest.

any help please

If I got that message - and had made no changes - I'd be checking the status of the mysql instance on my host.  Depending on what's found, might be a host support issue.

cheers...

So the problem is not on my end? I'm getting this error for a message board I've used for years. It's giving me the same error for the past 24 hours. Could it be something on my end?

If you mean it's on a site you visit, then no it's not your end, it's an issue with the server the forum is hosted on. The site admin would need to ask their host to fix the issue.
