[Whatah]

usually i run repair whenever we get a database error.

this morning i logged into cpanel and saw that we were listed as having zero database instead of our normal 3. obviously the forum was not working lol

i went to the mysql link where we repair databases and there were none in the dropdown.

10 minutes later, while i was on the phone with hsot support, the site was working. the databases were selectable to be repaired in the drop-down. strange thing is that even now, on the main cpanel page, we are listed as "SQL Databases 0 / 50 " even though currently the site is working and when i go into mySQL databases they are of course there to be selected and repaired

host said that since the queries usually just take a few miliseconds that 50 connections is considered reasonable for a shared host solution. up until a week ago we didnt ave any trouble at all.

we have about 10k posts in our junkyard trash forum that we will clear out, that should provide a small database size reduction.

on the phone this morning i actually did get someone from host support to admit that they have been having issues with this box since friday. now all i need is for them to fix it would trying to blame it on our site



thanks a ton for the information and feedback
