I am installing vBulletin using 0fees.net and when I go to install, I get to step to then I get:

    Attempting to attach to database

Error description: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) /home/vol13/0fees.net/fees0_7746606/theelitegamers.0fees.net/htdocs/includes/class_core.php on line 311

The database has failed to connect because you do not have permission to connect to the server. Please confirm the values entered in the 'includes/config.php' file.


I have no idea what to change in config.php or class_core.php on line 311, I know its line 311 because of Notepad++ (I really recommended it). So, what can I change in config.php or class_core.php on line 311 to make this work? Oh and this is what line 311 is:
    $link = $this->functions[$usepconnect ? 'pconnect' : 'connect']("$servername:$port", $username, $password);


Thanks, EvilCow
