MySQL Error : MySQL server has gone away

Any idea what this is and how to fix it pls

I see you got it going by doing a server reboot, that's great. But you may run into the issue again.

MySQL Server has gone away" is a server issue. See this: https://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/...mysql_goneaway and this: https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/show...265#post310265 You will need to talk to your host about this in order to get it resolved.
