I also get alot of these errors

Mysql error:
Lost connection to MySQL server during query

My host is hostforweb

This is a 'timeout' error. Do a search on this forum and you will see other posts on what to do.

Try this:

Add or change the following to your PHP.ini or create the file if you don't have one  ..... 

; Maximum time (in seconds) for connect timeout. -1 means no limit
mysql.connect_timeout = 60

I changed mine to 80 and this seems to have done the trick. You may have to play around with it thought, different hosts etc.

thanks to Rumpy Bumpy for the above.

I added the code as is to my htaccess file and i got a 500 error..so took it out..thanks for your help but i need to figure out to fix this because i get too many of those emails.

Sorry about that didnt read clearly, I have created the file and copied to root folder, I guess I have to wait to see if I get those errors now. Do I have to do anything to make the changes take effect.

Ideally restart the server to reload the php.ini file..

Yes. It can help of course.

So, or expand timeout time

or, expand - max allowed connections :)
