I am relatively new to administering a wiki. I seem to be having a problem where the wiki is dropping the connection to the database. Every morning, when I try to access a wiki page (even the main page), it starts loading (and I see the wiki name appear in the browser title), but the content never loads. I am using MySQL on a Linux box (Fedora). Both the httpd and mysqld processes are configured to start up automatically (and the mysqld process should start up first).
Any help or suggestions about where I should start looking? Many thanks

Hello,
I think this is more a mysqld error than a mediawiki error, but do you have some info that could help? *mediawiki version *mysql version
Does the log say anything more about why it stops? I had a problem like this also a while ago. In my case the mysqld was using to much RAM every night and that killed the mysqld.
It looks like I'm running MySQL 5.1.42 (should I upgrade?), MediaWiki 1.14
The mysqld logs do not show any errors (or other significant messages). It does seem to die overnight, so your memory issue might be the cause. Time to look in the MySQL manuals.
