Database Error

Permalink 1 user found helpful
I launched a small site last night for some scooter buddies of minehttp://www.deisebluessc.com & no sooner had we posted on a local scooter forum that the site had gone live & people started logging on people started saying that they were seeing this page: Database Error. It seems to have sorted itself out now but ideally shouldn't have happened.

Yup, your server couldn't handle the load and MySQL (the database) died.

You should tell your hosting provider. Perhaps there are some settings they can tweak.

Thanks Franz. I logged a ticket with them earlier & they just responded to say that they were carrying out some minor upgrades on the server & didn't alert customers due to the relatively small amount of time it would take them (15mins) & it just happened to be at the time my site launched.

On another note, I gave the guy who is going to be the admin on the site an hours training on how to use C5 last night before go-live & his exact words to me were: "Are you sure this isn't more complicated? I just hit Edit, make my changes where I want them to appear & hit publish? Surely it can't be this straight forward."

Great job on making a system that people can use & not be afraid of using.
