Database Connection Issues

Hi,

Are the database connection errors infrequent? If the site is able connect to the MySQL server most of the time it's most likely to be a problem with your hosting at Network Solutions. I would suggest contacting them to see if they know what is causing the problem.

Thanks

they are pretty frequent. I work on the site every day and i see an error at least 4 to 5 times a day.

I just contacted them, and they said I need to make a php.ini file and place that in the cgi-bin in the root folder. However, I am not a pro at any of this, lol, and i really dont know what a php.ini file is. or if that will in fact fix my problem.

A php.ini file is a way of setting site wide or directory wide settings. For example setting a maximum upload size, or if PHP errors should be displayed. Did they tell you why they wanted it creating and what should be in it?

CMS Builder comes with a php.ini file for the CMS Builder admin area. You can find it in the cmsAdmin directory. You could try copying it into your cgi-bin directory and changing any settings in it that Network Solutions suggested.

It does sound like it's a problem with the MySQL server with Network solutions. Are you on shared hosting? As another site on the server might be getting a large volume of traffic which is causing the issue.

Thanks

Excellent!

Let me know if you have any more issues.

Thanks
