Server is acting up again. Major Sql errors.

[mikesla115595]

Hi.

I have had in the last few minutes some sql errors. I have had 3 errors so far. The first two errors were sql errors (the error report would have filled two pages), and when I reloaded the page the errors went away. This is the last error when I was logging off from my Joomla admin.

<Edited to remove the error code>

When I am editing my site I pay very close attention to the speed of the server. If it takes over 8 seconds to load a page, I backoff from editing because I get this strange feeling that if I continue I will have to re-install, which is something I definately do not want to do.

Later!

Be careful what you post when you copy and paste error messages. With the data you provided, theoretically I could have found a way to hijack your session and gain admin access to your software. It's not likely that even with this information someone could get in, but this is a public forum and you never know who's lurking in it and what they'll try to do with even the slightest scrap of information. Some MySQL errors could show your passwords, user names, etc. so be sure to only post the bare minimum (the error message without the query) unless someone asks for more information.

Error 2006 (MySQL server has gone away) is usually a temporary issue. It just means the MySQL connection was broken when PHP tried to query it. The good news is that the database wasn't changed so it's likely that your installation won't be corrupted, but the bad news is you could lose data if you get this error when inputting information and you might have to input it again.

If you notice this error occurring more often then once in a while, post back here so a staff member can assess the situation.

Hi, thanks for the reply.

Okay that is good to know that the error is only a temp thing. I didn't know about posting the error could cause me to get hijacked, I will be more careful next time.

Cheers, and again thank you.
