MySQL error

edited March 2007 in Vanilla 1.0 Help
Our forum site has been going crazy today, really moving slow. Then after hours of dodgy slowness, I get this error: *************** A fatal, non-recoverable error has occurred Technical information (for support personel): Error Message The connection to the database failed: Affected Elements MySQL.OpenConnection(); The error occurred on or near: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'yoursite' (111) *************** Anyone know what this is?

  • ..and now it works. Our IT guy says the way the forum is setup is hard on the server, something about how it parses the info?

    ..and now it doesn't work.. eee. From my IT guy: There is problem with how the site is indexed. Recovering (with sort) MyISAM-table 'yoursite_com_community/LUM_IpHistory.MYI' Data records: 429290 I'm being told to upgrade our server. And this has only been online for 4.5 months with only 30MB of db size. Anyone else have this problem?

    Another error: The error occurred on or near: Got error 127 from table handler I wonder if it's just a little thing like: http://lussumo.com/community/discussion/1148/

    It looks like 111 is a standard MySql can't connect error. This might help: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=108032 And 127: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=100983

    For the record, it's pretty much standard practice for hosting providers to blame software (typically software you installed) when errors occur. This is a server problem. Saying that it has something to do with the way that Vanilla parses information is complete bs.
  • Thanks guys! After restarting the server, we repaired the db and it was fixed. We did have a high load average all afternoon (from 4-20), so I think quite a few things were causing this problem. Too many hits, too many connections to the db? The server we're running this on is: Model Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.00GHz Chip MHz 1999.97 MHz Cache Size 128 KB We're also streaming a radio station feed on the same server. So, we may have to upgrade the server. Thanks again. That was bizarre.
