[Mediawiki-l] Re(2): mySQL issue?

Line 826 (in my code) is this: $s = $dbr->selectRow( 'user', '*', array( 'user_id' => $this->mId ), __METHOD__ ); it appears to be related to a mySQL query. Usually the error you get in PHP means that some variable, that you try to work with, has not been set or is FALSE, e.g. $dbr. Reading about the connection error you get in phpMyAdmin, I'd guess that PHP encounters the same, when it tries to connect to your database and fill the variable. So I'd begin looking at your DB, _if_ you are sure that you have not changed anything in your PHP code! I don't know much about Apache and stuff, but I had a big problem once when due to a listing in some very popular web catalogue I suddenly recieved thousands of hits a day (compared to maybe 100 the day before). The increase in traffic was so intense that it brought my DB down. I solved the problem with making all pages static. This was possible on that website, simply by having a cronjob execute once each night and build all pages from the database. But that website was not a wiki, with user contribution. Anyway ... ... try and find out about the performance of your database. I don't know how, I had someone look at the logs and interpret them for me, and he installed a small script that recorded what happened on the database server etc., so maybe start with calling your provider and ask them about _their_ server and tell them that you see performance problems. Hope all this bla bla helps you! ~ Manfred click I _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
