Database Problems
For the past couple of days, with today being the worse, the database server has just been completely horrible. Not sure why, but I keep getting "MySQL Server has gone away" errors. Lots of them. So pages might only load partly or not at all. And It's really starting to annoy me.
I dispatched a support ticket to netfirms support hours ago and haven't received a response. No surprise there.
I added the line @mail("[my_email]", in the error section of wp-db.php, and within 4 hours of adding that, I've gotten over 40 emails. Uggh. And they don't stop coming.
"WordPress Database Error",
"Error:$str\r\n
Query:$query\r\n
IP:".$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']."\r\n
Page:".$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']."\r\n");
So I think it's time to switch to at least a VPS. I'm thinking with either GoDaddy or 1and1, unless there's something I should know or there are better options.
But this leads me to something I don't really want to do, but it's much better than the alternative of ads, or think will work. If you found this site useful or just want to help out, feel free to make a donation. Just click the PayPal icon below.
