When I open my site imgtash.com it displays the following error, please help fix this

The system has encountered a error when it try to connect to the database server.
  • PDOException: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
 
It explains itself, the socketis not well configured in your hosting. Ask your hosting company.
 
This... Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)

It says "hey, I can't connect using that socket". Is pretty self explanatory.
 
Okay.....I think I was able to fix that problem, and now it's saying "You haven't changed the default __CHV_CRYPT_SALT__. Please set this value inincludes/definitions.php"

What should be the new value here?
 
Wow.....site is working now.

I need help with the site's template, how do I change the chevereto logo to my own?
 
Edit the CSS/HTML, try replacing the image in the theme image folder ;)
 
I made a few changes and they do seem to reflect on the site. Thanks for all the help. Appreciate it.

Btw, can you please keep this thread open for a couple more days, just in case I have any issues.

While we are on the subject, is it possible to upload/host images to Amazon S3, as that will reduce the load on the server.
