I'm upgrading from 7.0 to 7.0.2 and get the following message on running the upgrade.php script:
Warning: mysql_connect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) in /home/www/jakchat/forums/libs/mysql.inc.php on line 44
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: smartyprepare() in /home/www/jakchat/forums/libs/ubbthreads.inc.php on line 753
any suggestions?

don't know if this is related, but one of my administrators unwittingly reopened my board while it was upgrading. could this have left the database in an open state, thus causing the above problem?? and if so, how do i now close the database, keeping in mind that i no longer have access to the control panel ...

From the error it looks like the MySQL server has actually died and not available. If this is still happening, then you should contact your host.

according to my ISP customer support, they have no problem. indeed, they wrote a quick program on my system that connected. my mysql host is not localhost, but something else. could my host setting be overwritten during the copying of files or something? just speculating ... i've not nothing more to go on, and my users are clamouring

<?php
$config = array ();
?>

umm, this is in your forum directory right? cas it should contain a LOT more...
Did you follow the upgrade guide? Such as not overwriting your includes or cachebuilders directories?

i may have copied includes in a moment of distraction ... too many kids running around the office on sunday morning ... cachebuilders and styles were definately left alone

run install.php to the "create yoru admin user" screen and you should be safe, from there run upgrade.php.

one of the things that has not yet come back is my shout box! it just stays blank, and won't accept posts.
may be unrelated, however my firefox debugger reports this error when my main page opens
uncaught exception: Permission denied to call method XMLHttpRequest.open
same problem in IE7.
do i need to replace a file that may ahve been overwritten??

That sounds like a domain name issue. Normally you'll see this if you have your full url set to domain.com but you are visiting by www.domain.com, or vice versa. There are some security precautions with AJAX in that it will only allow you to use it on the exact domain you're currently on. Hopefully that makes a bit of sense.

yes, i found the problem. my configuration had lost the setting where i declared more than one domain (eg, http://www.jakchat.com|http://jakchat.com) that fixed that problem ... now for all the rest buggering up your configuration files is not recommended. you may wish be make a note of that in your documentation

/forums/admin/languageeditor.php comes up completely blank.
