pmwwwgtalkvForum | | Re: Server error (6th May 09 at 9:45pm UTC) | | Seems weird that that error would come up at all. It's used whenever the MySql server cannot be connected to. That service is monitored locally (with automatic restarts attempted) and externally with notification messages being sent. I've not had anything to say that the status monitor detected any problems nor have I had any messages to inform me of the service being restarted  But so long as it came back on its' own then that's fine. Could just be that I've not yet received the notification of it having been restarted automatically and it wasn't down for long enough for the status monitor to pick up on it. | |

Whether that is an issue or not would depend on how long the message appeared for. It could just be an intermittent stage of the server stabilizing itself which can last for (I believe) up to 1 or 2 minutes. If it starts to appear for longer than that then, and only then, is it an issue. | |

same with me, besides the half hour part. I refreshed it once, then reported it. then refreshed it 2 more times, and it came back. | |
