Auto updates each night

[stuarttunstall]

I am having a small issue with MySQL problems which appear to arrive during the nightly cPanel auto updates.

Auto Update commenced around 02.18am UK Time, and for the last two nights, at 02.20am, I recieve the following database errors:-

Database error in vBulletin :

mysql_connect() [<a
href='function.mysql-connect'>function.mysql-connect</a>]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) /home/vwaf/public_html/forum/includes/class_core.php on line 274

MySQL Error :
Error Number :

I get around 5-6 of these, then everything is OK.

To test this, I tried a manual update through WHM this morning, and the same errors, although around 15-20 of them arrived as soon as the update process started.

On Saturday I upgraded to the latest versions of PHP5, and MySQL, which went OK, and the site is running OK.

Any ideas what causes these errors to appear?

Doesnt upcp cycle mysql each time it runs regardless of whether or not mysql is actually updated ?. I think you are just seeing errors for the brief time mysql is down.
