XF 1.5 Lost connection to MySQL server during query

[triforceguy1]

Hello,

I have XenForo 1.5.13 installed and it was working fine earlier but all of a sudden I get this error ‘Lost connection to MySQL server during query’. Could it possibly be caused by a lot of traffic at all? It would make sense as I recently publish my MARIO Odyssey review, or is it to do with something else.

Here’s the full error:

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

It could be traffic or load based. It's really just as the error says: PHP lost it's connection to MySQL while in the act of running a query (for example, it sent the query and then couldn't read from the pipe to get a result).

If your MySQL server is separate, then it could be a networking issue.

Your site appears to be working now at least, so I'm not sure how long it lasted for or how consistent it was. The server would really need to be monitored when the issue happened.
