    hello.

    I have no idea what happened. Suddenly, my site is gone. I get this error:

    WordPress database error: [Lost Connection to MySQL server during query] SELECT ooption_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name=”users_can_register” LIMIT 1

    Things were running slowly this morning when I made a post, now I can’t get it to load at all. Neither can I get to the dashboard. I don’t have any idea what to try. I’m stumped.

    Anybody got any ideas?? Please??

    Thanks much.

  • If it worked till now – first thing to do: contact your host and ask them what did they do, like software/hardware upgrade etc.

    Okay…I just sent them an email.

    I think I selected the wrong spot to post this question…I’ve been up and running since last May. This is not an installation problem.

    Should I repost the question there?

    Thanks.

    The error here seems specific…is it possible that someone tried to register or used an email address already in use and it “hung” the database? If so, where would I look to fix it?

    any thoughts?

    I don’t seem to be the only one having this problem in the last 18 hours…doesn’t that seem a little funny? I see others on this list and perhaps on the problems after installation list…could it be wordpress?

    I heard back from my server, Go Daddy, and they said it was a “load latency” problem which they resolved. I have no idea what that means, but the site loaks quick-like-a-bunny now!

    Sorry that I posted two threads on the same issue…I didn’t know how to correct the placement once I made the error.

    Thanks.
