Guys, this a remote server that i have only ftp access to it and some space to upload files.

I cant check whether the file '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' exists or not, i aksed na admin though and he definately stated that the mysql server on freehostia runs normally. I also have no access to any of the error logs.

I switched the code to this but it still produces the same error: 

#=====================================================================
+==========
my $db = ( $ENV{'SERVER_NAME'} !~ /freehostia/ )
       ? DBI->connect('DBI:mysql:e_shop@localhost', 'root', '*****', {
+RaiseError=>1})
       : DBI->connect('DBI:mysql:nikkou6_db@mysql3.freehostia.com', 'n
+ikkou6_db', '*****', {RaiseError=>1});

if( $ENV{'SERVER_NAME'} =~ /freehostia/ )  { $ENV{'DOCUMENT_ROOT'} = '
+/www/nikos.varsa.gr/' };
#=====================================================================
+==========
