A website i have just setup in the past couple of days has gone down and showing a database error out of the blue.

I have now got 200 emails and rising every second with errors like this...


Database error in vBulletin :

mysql_connect() [<a href='function.mysql-connect'>function.mysql-connect</a>]: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'eon' (10061)

So its my hosts problem? The site has been up and running fine for days now, then bam, it just crashed like this

[Lynne]

Well, either you changed something (inadvertantly) and caused the problem, or it's a problem on your hosts end.

(Take a look at the script url... do you really have all those "amp;" in there? That isn't correct at all.)

[MindTrix]

The only thing i have recently installed was a mod from here, a guest tracking one. It's been working fine all day, then i would say 6 hours later, this is happening.

[Lynne]

Are you on a shared server? Do they have a server status page?

[Jase2]

The best thing you can do is contact your host. Or disable all mods then see if the problem persists.

[MindTrix]

I believe i am on a shared server, and the server status page just says server is ok.

Thing is the site was working fine for hours after i last edited, and out of the blue this has happened, and i dont have a clue where them amp;amp; have come from

Sent my hose a support ticket, now just waiting forever for a reply.

I cannot disable any mods because the whole site is down. Only my default homepage is working, anything forum related is not.

[Lynne]

If you can ftp to your site, you can disable your mods in your config.php file: edit config.php and add this line right under <?php

PHP Code:

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true); 


(BTW, your site is still linked in your first post. All you did was change the url we see, not the clickable one.)

Thanks for the heads up!

Added that code but still no joy, dead site. And still no support ticket reply! over an hour now
