Weird Problem - Database Error
 

Everyday for about 5-10 minutes my board goes down , saying "DATABASE ERROR" I got no clue why this happens and all of a sudden, the board comes back up.

The board was working perfectly ok - i got no clue why this is going on. Not able to find out why either. Should I disable all hacks completely? If some one is willing to take a quick look at it, I am even ready to pay. PLEASE HElP ME guys - i spent a lot on this board and almost gone broke ... and now this is happenning.

Here is a screen shot

Thank you.

When you get the database error, you need to View the Page Source and then the actual database error is shown at the bottom of the page.

You may want to look at your Scheduled Tasks and see if any task is running around the time the site goes down.

Thank you -

do you think that disabling all the scheduled tasks for a while would prevent this from happenning?

When I get this error I am not even able to log in to the admin cp.

By the way - my board version is 3.7.3

No, do not disable your Scheduled Tasks unless you want to cause problems on the board. You should find which Scheduled Task it is and then find out why it is causing problems. If the task is from a modification, you may want to consider getting rid of that modification.

It may help to get the exact database error as I explained. And, look at the times of the Tasks to find out which one it is.

here is the last set of tasks that ran

The board crashed for 30 seconds at 5 50pm est i was not online. i hv to stay online all day for this random occurance.

I have disabled most of my hacks.

Do you know if there was a Scheduled Task that was supposed to run at 5:50? Also note that not all Scheduled Tasks get logged - only the ones you ask to be logged are logged.

Can yo post the error also?

If you're not able to even access your admincp - doubt it's simply a plugin or hook issue. I'm willing to bet you're having an issue with mysql connection or something along those lines?
