Question

Sometimes when i am trying to connect to my server through filezilla i am getting this error at the same time my site and phpmyadmin is also down and getting errors like this mysql error: MySQL server has gone away or some times too many connections. It was working fine for last two days. 2 days before i altered tables in my database added some code in my .inc files (ie, php code) after that only i am having this problem. But some times i can connect to server and both my site and phpadmin is also loaded. I would like to know whether bad php codes can cause this(Error:Connection timed out) type of errors in FTP? Please help me..

SOLVED

Problem was with the server and they have corrected it. Thanks a lot
to all of you who responded to my question

Answer 1

Seems like your code is establishing too many MySQL connections, can you add the code to your question to confirm? (Do you have a DB connection in a loop by any chance?)

Regarding post-rollback errors, as you have not stated what you have tried, here is a slew of possible solutions.

• MySQL #2002 forum post – A few possible solutions here.
• linuxquestions forum post – (setting ‘socket = /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock’ in my.cf)
• ‘Solve: Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket /tmp/mysql.sock’

The basic problem is most likely that you do not have the socket set correctly, check where the .sock is and what is currently set to in your settings.

Aside: You could go for a clean install of LAMP / XAMPP / whatever, may end up being quicker if possible assuming you can’t fix the issue itself.
