store suddenly not connecting with paypal

**Smoknjoer** · 3 Apr 2011, 04:54 PM

I have had my site up and running for 2+ years, now I have had issues with customers placing orders only to find out that zencart is not able to connect to Palpal. This message has come up

2006 SQL has gone away

Any thoughts?

So, "suddenly" something has stopped working?

Is your database broken? Do any of your tables need repairing?
Did your hosting company change something (*ANYTHING*) on the server?
Is this problem *really* isolated just to PayPal? (Seems odd)
How EXACTLY can this problem be reproduced?
Where exactly are you seeing that 2006 error message?

I actually looked up some other similar problems and when I changed the CURL status to FALSE it corrected the problem. Thanks for the reply!
