Topic: Lost connection to MySQL server during query

I get this error everywhere now:
Unable to connect to MySQL server. MySQL reported: Lost connection to MySQL server during query.

See: http://www.glbasic.com/forum

I wrote a long reply, took a few minutes, then pressed "submit" and <bang>.

What can I do now?? Please - don't tell me it's all gone.

Looking for a good game?

Contact your host. They will find the problem.

And update your PunBB to the latest version.

Re: Lost connection to MySQL server during query

Happened to me in former times but not anymore since I got my own machine.
It's usually happening when shared hosting clients don't know ho to optimize queries and the db just collapses.
Say there are 200 users on the system, and 5 decide to write heavy database apps without knowing what they are doing and - voila, mysqld decides to quit from time to time.
I had this mostly on BSD systems where only one instance of mysqld is running.
This is most probably not the fault of punBB.
Yes, contact your provider and if it doesn't change then go somewhere else.
