2006 MySQL server has gone away

[cuysan]

Greetings,

Not sure what the problem is? Can't seem to get the store to load without an error. I'm running 1.3.8a with a database. It was upgraded from 1.3.7 a while back when the 1.3.8 patch level was released. I have the SEO Friendly URL contrib installed, about 5 months ago. The site has been up and running well for over a year now. Just today there is a problem loading the store and I get this error:

2006 MySQL server has gone away
in:
[select * from get_terms_to_filter]
2006 MySQL server has gone away
in:
[select count(*) as total from sessions where sesskey = 'd75a650378aec920c7edc121d2c519bf']

Not sure if this could be a hack or other problem. Any help would be appreciated.

The admin section seems fine but the store home only partially loads.

Sorry for putting it in the wrong place. Didn't find these threads earlier? Thanks for pointing them out.

This is a problem that need to be addressed to your web host. Only they are really in a position to investigate why the MySQL server is unavailable, be it intermittently or permanently.

Will do that. Thanks for the reply kuroi. The site is back up now but I haven't really identified the cause. I'll see what they say?

Thanks again!
