Anyone know what this error means and how to fix it?

You forgot the actual error message:

An exception occurred: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ' (111) in /.../htdocs/library/Zend/Db/Adapter/Mysqli.php on line 333

I replied to your PM. It's a failed MySQL connection. Maybe the server crashed. A restart might fix it.

Or it could be incorrect MySQL info in your library/config.php file, but I'm assuming you haven't changed that.

Is this a windows server?

OT but what reasons would someone running xenforo choose to deploy a Windows based server?

Simple answer, at least for us, we provide other services that can't run on a linux box. XF runs fine on Windows, how well it runs depends on the person administrating the box.

A shared hosting at Network Solutions. Apache server I believe.

I guess NS had an issue as it's back up.

Thanks. I'm just curious since I've never been inside a windows server. What do you run on it that you can't on Linux? Things like Sharepoint?

Yes, things like SharePoint, Exchange and other integrated ASP applications that are tied into other systems and require Active Directory authentication.

Dang. Doing it again. So this is networks solution shared server going down?

Yep.

Yep.

Back up again shortly. I guess I need to read the sales agreement and see what the guaranteed up time is for Networks Solutions.
