From MySQL:

Quote
The error (2002) Can't connect to ... normally means that there is no MySQL server running on the system or that you are using an incorrect Unix socket filename or TCP/IP port number when trying to connect to the server.

You should ask your webhost for the correct connection string.  You should also report that error to them.  They may be able to help you.

Here is the MySQL link: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/can-not-connect-to-server.html
