A Question about IPB and MySQL Errors
I'm sorry if the following has been posted before; I did a quick search, but didn't find any posts related to my issue specifically.
I had been having an intermittent problem with the Invision Power Board forum I run on my website for several months. It would work fine for a good long while, then it would return something like the following:
Warning: mysql_connect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111) in /var/www/html/forum/sources/Drivers/mySQL.php on line 61
Warning: mysql_select_db(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /var/www/html/forum/sources/Drivers/mySQL.php on line 64
ERROR: Cannot find database onyx-citadel_net_-_los
Warning: mysql_query(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /var/www/html/forum/sources/Drivers/mySQL.php on line 97
There appears to be an error with the Legion of Shadow - Colloquium database.

The really funny thing about the issue is that it would seem to sometimes be self-correcting.
However, since November, whenever I try to access my forums I get the above error (or sometimes I receive one that says my database can't be located at all.
When the error occurred last, I was in the middle of posting something on the forum and when I hit the "post" button, it gave an error.
I'm trying to find out what might be causing the problem and if there are any steps I could take to prevent/repair it in the future.
I am running (was, rather) IPB 1.3.1 with the Zert0_Bl-438 skin.
If more information is needed, I'll be around to provide it.
Thanks in advance for the assistance!
