PHPBB3, mySQL Database, Lost Connection

[nouveau8746]

I've installed a PHPBB3 forum onto my site hosted here, and every time I've tried to access my admin control panel - I get the following error:

--------------------------------------------------------
General Error
SQL ERROR [ mysqli ]

Lost connection to MySQL server during query [2013]

SQL

SELECT COUNT(attach_id) AS total_orphan FROM phpbb_attachments WHERE is_orphan = 1 AND filetime < 1293991695

--------------------------------------------------------

I've tried doing a complete reinstall - that does not fix the error. I've asked for help on the PHPBB3 support forums, and they suggested that I ask for help from my host as they have seen this error with x10 hosting before. I *really* need to be able to access the admin panel for obvious reason, if I'm unable to do so - then I'll need to move hosts.

I haven't been hosted here for very long, but I like it! So I'd prefer to just find some sort of a solution!

Thanks!

Odd... I just installed phpbb onto my test account, which is on a different server from yours though, and I see no issues there. Is it directly on admin index, or when you try to do something in particular you encounter the error?

I'll setup a test account on the same server as you are and check that as well.

I see this issue frequently but i cannot replicate it. What version are you using, a fresh one from phpbb.com or from softaculous
Are you using any mods or completely stock

[Anna]

I have replicated it and we have tracked down the cause, bit interesting that it only seem to happen on one server though.

Working on the permanent solution.

Thanks so much for the prompt response guys and/or gals! I'm using a freshly downloaded version of PHPBB from the phpbb.com website. I'm not using any mods. I'm using the eMuza template.

The error occurs anytime I try to access the ACP, since this initial install.

I look forward to ideas and possible solutions!

For the moment it should be working (we temporary disabled one thing), and I think I found the how to sort it permanently, but the admin in charge kind of went afk, so not sure he looked at that.

[nouveau8746]

Excellent! Thank you so much. I haven't been hosted here for very long, but I've settled in and am quite happy here. So, I'm glad things are working!

Access the our ACP continues to be reliable, since you helped out. Thanks so much!

Seems this thread is solved, I will now close it. Please open a new thread or re-open this one if you need help.
