Got a lot of help here last month while trying to move to a new host- thanks again everyone.

Today is the second time in the last 6 weeks that I have received this type of page when checking the board.





The error either resolves itself (?) or the webhost is fixing something on receipt of my support ticket(s).

From webhost:


I'd like to understand whats going on so I have the control to fix it myself if possible- any suggestions
Thanks

Not sure about the first message.
But the second one looks like it is reporting that the table need to be repaired.

The first one says the MySQL server ran out of memory. The second says that the server has gone away. That means crashed.

The first one seems to indicate that it needs but doesn't have an OMG! amount of memory for the query. The query that it mentions is the one that gets the moderators list. That's only 13 forums. No idea how large the membership is, your URL is not in your profile.

The second says the server has crashed. Your server's MYSQL error log will contain any information available on that.

The forum is at: http://www.livc.net/ubbthreads/
(Updated my profile, thanks)

It seems to be running fine now.
Can I prevent this from happening again?
Thanks

Once again this morning:

What's out of memory and how do I resolve it?
Is there a setting in the UBB control panel or is this an issue for my web host to resolve?
If its for the web host, what should I direct them to do?
Thanks

For some reason it would appear that your ONLINE table isn't being purged often enough. It looks like it's possibly around 16 megs in size, which even on an extremely busy board it shouldn't grow that big.

I'd run 2 queries. First see how many rows are actually in the table with this:



Then purge everything in the table

I'd ask the host why the server is running out of memory at only 13 megabytes. That's really not a lot of memory but the server is saying OMG! NO! and dying.

13 megs? I mean, my cell phone has more than that, and it's old.

From the web host:

Whatever they did the board seems to be running smoothly now. Thanks for the help.
