[Toolserver-l] MySQL changed or broken?

[Sean Whitton]

Hey,

MySQL has stopped working for my cloak request script: I am getting
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Lost connection to
MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error:
111 in /home/swhitton/public_html/includes/cloaks.inc on line 3
Could not establish connection to MySQL server. when I try to retrieve
the list of requests.

Also, someone reported that it wasn't working at all for submitting
requests at one point. Also, I sometimes find that dates are recorded
as 1970-01-01 or somesuch, which is a bit mysterious as it only
occasionally happens.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
