Get a good firewall router or software firewall.

It is not necessarily a DDoS attack. The error simply implies that the MySQL daemon was down.

If you were running 3.6 before, be sure your config.php is the one that came with the 3.7 version... There is a difference, and that might be part of it, however, I've found that a lot of the older 3.6 mods are not compatible with 3.7... I recommend uninstalling your mods, and using only those that are 3.7 compatible... You'd be surprised and the difference they make. Just a suggestion...

Hi

We had that same error messsage getting progressively more regular - logging everyone out and putting the site down for up to five minutes a time.

''lost connection to mysql etc class_core line 311.''

We unistalled all our mods etc tried everything but still happened. We have moved to a different mysql server and thats fixed it, with all our mods back on.

I dont think its DDoS - we had a DDoS and our server host shut our site down for too much traffic. Which was helpful not.

It sounds like your MySQL was down or you could of hit a limit that your host has put in. Since shoutboxes tend to refresh often especially if you are running with AOP on it will rip your server up.

Well - it's no dDOS attack - how to attack MySQL socket ? If it's really dDOS - which I highly doubt - it's an attack on the webserver though it seems that was running.
Second - don't waste your time with a firewall - this won't help at all against script based attacks and for sure not against Denial of Service attacks - except you block everything

About the problem - reupload all files taken from the original sources and only from there. Then try to run some MySQL optimization scripts to see if there's a bottleneck somewhere.
Also - check if HTML is enabled anywhere (Posts, Signatures etc.) - if so - it maybe wasn't a real attack, someone could post:

Quote:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
alert("You got hacked");
</script>
</head>
<body></body></html>

Which is neither a security problem nor a hack.
