• I keep succumbing to an error “Error establishing a database connection”

    The lat time I had my site manager look into this, he found a series of incomplete queries. (examples below)

    I don’t have any idea what any of these means, but I’m wondering if there’s a way to tell if there’s a plugin or something else that might be causing this (and not completing the queries) that would force the IP to force-end all queries and repair the DB in order to get it to work again. I also have no idea how to kill queries or I’d try doing it myself. Thoughts?

  • That looks like your database server is lacking enough resources/power to handle the queries. As the log says, the first query is executing, but taking a logn time, and the other queries are waiting for that to finish so they can start. The first query doesn’t look that inovlved from the small snippet that it shown in that log, but if we could see the entire thing may it would be a little different. But it still doesn’t look liek it’s that big, so there’s no real reason that it should take so long to do, which brings it back to the database server not being able to handle the queries.

    Could it be a plugin or a theme issue that would cause it to hang?

    Yes, if the queries are from a plugin or the theme it woudl be that. But you need to find out what the queries are and see where they are coming from. Without knowing that you’ll be just guessing.
