My site when haywire for some reason the past couple of days.
Did receive a high volume of traffic, but not anything out of the normal.
What first happened is the site started to time out for some reason.
And then the database connection went kablooey.
Sounds like a MySQL issue, right?
Well, then I was getting intermittent MySQL breaks; sometimes it would work and sometime it wouldn't for every database (drupal, vbulletin, etc) on the site (MySQL has gone away).
I then rebooted the machine, which seems to have fixed just about everything.
However, under status report it reads "Your MySQL Server is too old. Drupal requires at least MySQL 4.1.1," - but I'm using 5.1, and it never stated that before.
Also two errors are listed:
Warning: mysql_get_server_info() [<a href='function.mysql-get-server-info'>function.mysql-get-server-info</a>]: Access denied for user 'nobody'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in db_version() (line 43 of /home/public_html/includes/database.mysql.inc).
and
Warning: mysql_get_server_info() [<a href='function.mysql-get-server-info'>function.mysql-get-server-info</a>]: A link to the server could not be established in db_version() (line 43 of /home/public_html/includes/database.mysql.inc).
