Mysql error

First of all: sorry if this is the wrong board, but I didn't know where else to post it:

lately my gallery has been kinda slow, well ok, not really a too big of a problem, but now when I wanted to go there it gave me the following error (without me having done anything):

Coppermine critical error:
Unable to connect to database !

MySQL said: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (111)

You need to ask your host about that, it's not a Coppermine issue.
