VBulletin Database Errors

[whitetailworld]

I've been getting these errors quite often. Probably 3 to 5 per day. I'm not sure if it's a hosting issue, spammer issue, or something else. Any help or direction is very much appreciated!

Here's the email I get sent.

I can't even access your website - getting a 403 error

Thanks for looking...

I'm not sure what the link above in the error is, but the correct link to the forum is: www.forums.whitetailworld.com

Thanks again

Since the error refers to a scheduled task (CRON), try temporarily increasing your PHP script time on the server. It is just a guess, but maybe it will help in diagnosing the problem. :)

That's the link I get the 403 error on :confused:

"MySQL Server has gone away" is a server issue. See this: https://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/troubleshoot_mysql_goneaway and this: https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&postid=310265#post310265 You will need to talk to your host about this in order to get it resolved.
