I had the same thing happen yesterday on one of my sites. I didn't have to search for a cause too hard as I was also having several other issues at the same time (no connection to SMTP or POP3 servers, very slow site loading or time outs, etc.).
I contacted the hosting company I use and got them to check on the server. Turns out, two of the other accounts on the server were running some massive scripts that were maxing the server out. When the host nuked their accounts, the server went back to normal and no more lost connections to MySQL. Could be that a similar thing is happening in your situation (server overworked, bad connection to the server, or something like that). ------------------------ Jason Hayes - Principal Hayes Holdings Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] / www.hayz.ws Blog: www.hayz.ws/blog #1936 - 246 Stewart Green SW Calgary, AB, Canada T3H 3C8 ------------------------ > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Nick W > Sent: Thursday, December 18, 2003 8:27 AM > To: CLUG General > Subject: [clug-talk] OT: PHP/MySQL question > > any idea what would cause this? > > Warning: mysql_connect(): Lost connection to MySQL server during query > > it doesnt seem to authenticate b/c it does the same whether login/pass are > correct or not. > -- > Nick W (nickw77 at shaw.ca) > Registered Linux User #324288 (http://counter.li.org) > MSN Messenger: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Yahoo: foolish_gambit > ICQ: 303276221 > > > _______________________________________________ > clug-talk mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca
