Hi

Drupal is driving me crazy!!! Av only just manage to sort out the other prob i had with it and now it comes up with this.

Failed to connect to your MySQL database server. MySQL reports the following message: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysqld.sock' (2).

Can anyone please tell me wots going on with this error message above and how to sort it out?

It looks like the address you have given for your database is wrong. It's usually localhost, but if you put that and it's not working, then you need to contact your hosting company, and find out what you should put instead of localhost.
