Coppermine critical error:
Unable to connect to database !

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

What does this mean, and how can I fix it?

I forgot to mention, it doesn't work on Firefox, but works just fine on Internet Explorer. Is there a significant reason for that?  ???
