Warning: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) in /var/www/forumdata/include/db.inc on line 26

This problems occures because php cannot establish a connection to mysql via a unix socket.

Here is what you can do:

1) Check if /tmp/mysql.sock exists, if it does not try seeing where "mysql.sock" file can be found and once you do change your "Mysql Server" option to reflect the different path.

2) If the file is there, try seeing if you can connect manually to mysql using it:
ex: mysql -S/tmp/mysql.sock -uyour_user_name -pyour_password
If that does not work, check your MySQL settings.

3) If you are able to connect in step #2 check your MySQL permissions.

You can also try changing the "Mysql Server" variable to say "127.0.0.1" and seeing if that would fix your problem.
