Can you confirm that the database username and password in
AdminSettings.php are correct, and that you can use them to connect to
the server with the command-line 'mysql' client? Can you confirm that
you spelled $wgDBadminuser and $wgDBadminpassword correctly, with that
exact case usage?
Even the proposed workaround for rebuilding the links
is not working.
What workaround is that, and where is it proposed?

ERROR 2006: MySQL server has gone away

Check mysql's error log; MySQL may be crashing or having other problems.
