database error

Thanks man...I never would have thought of that. My site is very new and only gets like 20-30 UV/day. I just thought of something else...when I installed VB..and had to edit the config.php file, I remember there was a part that sais "only change if VB tells you to"...and it had to do with MySQL and forcing something. First, I know its vaugue but I can't remember what it was exactly, but do you think that has something to do with it?

falconKing, are all of yours related to the attachment.php file? I had to steadily increase my wait_timeout due to attachment issues. 420 seemed to be the magic number for my site.

Hunter, yes, the default may be 8 hours, however your host may have it set at something else.

I just contacted them...we'll see what happens. I bet they try to make me upgrade. LOL

Check this out.....I just got a response from my host:

"While your account is hosted on a shared hosting server, you are sharing your resources with the other users on the very same server.

Please kindly note that modifying the wait_timeout parameter will endanger the server overall performance. If you wish different wait_timeout parameter to be set for you, you need to consider upgrading of your hosting plan to VPS one"

What should I make of this?

// ****** MASTER DATABASE PERSISTENT CONNECTIONS ******
// This option allows you to turn persistent connections to MySQL on or off.
// The difference in performance is negligible for all but the largest boards.
// If you are unsure what this should be, leave it off. (0 = off; 1 = on)
$config['MasterServer']['usepconnect'] = 0;

This is the config.php part that you were referring. I was told to leave it at 0 as I am getting the exact same issue right now with the mysql timing out. I get clusters of downtime lasting a few minutes at a time..I'm sure you are getting similar.

You can ignore it for now, and you can stop the e-mail notification if you'd really like to pretend it isn't happening.

Otherwise you will have to consider trying a different host (lunarpages.com maybe) or move to a dedicated server. You might also want to consider removing any load heavy mods if you have any installed.
