Add some or die() handlers to your queries.

mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());

There might be couple of reasons for this: the server is down, the database password was changed, the server has changed name, the communication between web server and database server is disturbed by a firewall. anyway your coding is good to use, but make sure to trap your errors always.

Hi.

The error you posted is typically shown when you try to connect to a Linux based MySQL server that is not yet running.

Make sure the MySQL server is in fact running on your server.
