Login problems after upgrading to 2.8

    I just upgraded to WordPress 2.8. I did the upgrade through the cool new feature in WP itself to download and upgrade. Unfortunately the upgrade seems to have introduced a small problem – I can’t login anymore.

    More specifically, when I try to login, I get an error message that says “ERROR: Invalid username. Lost your password?”. I am positive that the username and password are correct (I store them in FF3 and have not changed them). Initially, if I tried a few times, I could eventually login. Now, however, I can’t login at all.

    In addition, I get the following text at the very top when the login fails:

    WordPress database error: [MySQL server has gone away]
    SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = ‘DF_the_checkbox’ LIMIT 1

    WordPress database error: [MySQL server has gone away]
    SELECT * FROM wp_users WHERE user_login = ‘[username]’

    WordPress database error: [MySQL server has gone away]
    SELECT * FROM wp_users WHERE user_login = ‘[username]’

    Where [username] is my username.

    I am not quite sure how to go about fixing this. If anyone has any suggestions they would be most appreciated.

    Thanks.

  • i think you can try this one guys
    install the workaround, download the “workaround” or “workaround-old” version of the wp-db…phptxt file, rename it to wp-db.php, and copy it to wp-includes/wp-db.php (overwriting the old file). You may want to backup the old file instead of overwriting it. You’ll need to do this each time you upgrade WordPress (a pain, I know), with the appropriate version of wp-db.php for that version of WordPress

    cmiiw ??
