phpBB Setup Error

When I tried installing a phpBB forum I get this error.

Warning: mysql_connect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) in /home/www/mrmister.freestarthost.com/forum/db/mysql4.php on line 48

Warning: mysql_error(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/www/mrmister.freestarthost.com/forum/db/mysql4.php on line 330

Warning: mysql_errno(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/www/mrmister.freestarthost.com/forum/db/mysql4.php on line 331

phpBB : Critical Error

Could not connect to the database.

What does this error mean?

Thanks in advance.

Now when I try to login into the forum, it says I'm not allowed to connect to the MySQL Server. I've tried it from two different computers.

Anyone know why?

Anyone?

The exact error message I get is
Quote:
FÿjHost 'ip address' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server
But then if I click in profile, it shows that I am logged in anyway.

Let's move this one into programming/web development and see if anyone there knows anything.

make sure that your ip address and or host name has access to that database or make sure you are accessing the right database...
