MySQL Timing Out?

[thegondie75]

I have been attempting to install a forum for quite a while now. I have attempted phpBB and SMF from Fantastico, the other automated scripter, and manual installation. None of which seem to be working properly. Most of the time you Are able to view the main portal of the forums, but I am unable to access most of the administrative areas(Importantly, the default page of the phpBB administrative zone).

Half of the time phpBB simply says Connection Timed Out; the other half I get the following error message:

and Yes, I do have the correct address, port, name, username, and password in the config.

General Error

SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ]

Lost connection to MySQL server during query [2013]

SQL

SELECT COUNT(attach_id) AS total_orphan FROM phpbbF_attachments WHERE is_orphan = 1 AND filetime < 1292984983

If anyone has an idea or suggestion for me I am all ears. I have searched and searched to no avail.

It looks like phpbb is using a mysql4 connector. I would recommend seeing if you can use mysql5 or mysqli
