First,Ê You should not have to change hosts.

I found this blog post describing the same error.

http://www.thescripts.com/forum/thread1744.html

If you search for this error, it pops up a lot of web pages - but these are pages that actually had the error, not posts about the error.

Is your host running windows.Ê If so, this page:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/debug/base/system_error_codes.asp

indicates that a system error 111 is a buffer overflow.Ê Not sure how to remedy this, but it sounds like a problem with their mysql install.Ê I wouldn't read too much into the fact that PHPMyAdmin is working fine because it may be using a different connection method (e.g. it could be using mysql_pconnect, or the new mysqli extension).

You may want to do some trivial test scripts that just connect to a database using mysql_connect and do a select to see if that works.
