General Error SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ]
I've been getting these messages for many weeks. But the past week or so, it's been several times a day. I couldn't get in for over an hour just now due to the following message...

Re: General Error SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ]
There are issues with the servers the forums are hosted on. It's being worked on but apparently no solution has been implemented as yet.

The database we use is a shared one. It was recently upgraded, and the upgrade is causing some segfaults. Our hosts are working hard to fix.

Re: General Error SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ]
Thanks Jason for the info. But damn....it's been weeks (if not months). For a board as popular as MozillaZine, you'd think phpBB Group would be a bit more professional about this. I frequent a music discussion board that is also a phpBB Group board. Had the same issue. With a few persistent calls/emails and 2 server changes, the issue has been corrected. Seems if a small, indie music board with nowhere near the same number of members can garner the attention of phpBB Group and get this fixed, so can Mozillazine.

Uncle Spellbinder,
Our hosts are the Open Source Labs at Oregon State University. I don't think we'll be changing. Part of the problem is that we are using a shared database. The staff at OSL and Jason are tracking it down. We don't have the freedom to move like your small, indie music board.

Thanks for the clarification. I thought that a server move would have nothing to do with the host, providing the host has multiple servers. In any event, I hope this can be addressed soon. I guess the perils of shared databases is what we've been experiencing for months now. Too bad there can't be a dedicated database for Mozillazine.

This is nuts. 1hr 45minutes I had the General Error SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ] error message. Then for another 20 minutes, I got this...
Then I had to log in again and was directed to a captcha screen.
It's becoming a chore to visit these forums.
Can't find any servers to help you
The mozillazine servers seem to be on strike. The systems team is negotiating...
Please try again later

Re: General Error SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ]
The knowledge base is also often kaput.
But I guess I don't need to mention that, because all parties are aware of the problems and will diligently fix them very very soon.
The following error was encountered:
Connection Failed
The system returned:
(110) Connection timed out
The remote host or network may be down. Please try the request again.
