Additional information about this error:

MySQL error!

Error establishing a database connection!

(Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2))

1. Are you sure you have typed the correct user/password?
2. Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
3. Are you sure that the database server is running?

This has been answered many times. Most likely your host denied socket access, so you have to enter MySQL server IP instead of "localhost" in basic.config.php

Thanks, and sorry. :( I didn't search. I just did a cursory glance at some topics. (Unlike me, but sometimes crap happens, lol.)

Is there any reason that you know of why this would suddenly happen? I have emailed my host. I have no idea what the MySQL server IP even is.

It's a host problem. Chances are mysql is overloaded or out of disk space .. either way it's them that needs to fix it ;)

It's fixed. YAY! It's the first time that has happened to me in the 8+ years I've had the website...so I was freaked.
