Database Error?

[KeithPA]

Every once in awhile I click on a link to pull up a forum or thread and it pulls up a dead screen saying "database error" It almost looks like the IE cannot connect to page screen, but I'm using firefox and I think they even look the same?

This never happened on the old version.

Figured you might like to know.

Yeah ever since the upgrade the site has been losing it's connection to the database every once in a while. I'll be working on this.

[ungawa]

Right. Me too. Started same time as I started getting logged out whenever I tried to post something.

[ungawa]

Argh!! It keeps doing it to me. And sometimes the pages stall or load very slowly.

[danp]

We're aware, it's being worked on

[PisnNapalm]

The forums have worked flawlessly for me.

/me counts himself lucky.

i get the database error 3 -5 times a day sometimes more

[danp]

I get about 100-200 a day currently (which is completely unacceptable but considering we average about 70-80k pageviews a day, it's really a drop in the bucket.)

I just haven't had time to fix it this week, been busy with my real job.

Are there any throttle limits set on the MySQL server which the forum connects to?

We're going to move mysqld off the webserver and on to a dedicated database server. should help immensely during heavy load.
