My board has crashed (I didn't do anything!), and is giving this error:

Script:
Line#:
SQL Error: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
Please verify that your MySQL server is running
SQL Error #: 2002
Query: Unable to connect to the database!


Is it correct to assume that this is caused on the host's end, like their server is down? Thank you.
