Hey,

I'm running Wordpress latest package on Ubuntu 14.04 with apache and mysql server. Everyting was running perfectly, but this evening I'm getting database connection error without using www.

Here is sites: http://filmloverss.com/ (Failing)
http://www.filmloverss.com/ (Running perfectly)

I'm also using monit for keep running whole system. So the monit status is returning everyting is perfect.

So what ist the problem? How can I solve this?

Here is what I got from both sites:

http://filmloverss.com/

<!-- Dynamic page generated in 43.190 seconds. -->
<!-- Cached page generated by WP-Super-Cache on 2014-07-28 01:43:15 -->

<!-- super cache -->

http://www.filmloverss.com/

<!-- Dynamic page generated in 0.602 seconds. -->
<!-- Cached page generated by WP-Super-Cache on 2014-07-28 06:10:50 -->

<!-- super cache -->

WP super cache maybe the cause.
Seems like it have different caches for non-www and www version.

If you don't want to deal with it right now, just add a rewrite rule to redirect non-www to www

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^[^.]+\.[^.]+$
RewriteCond %{HTTPS}s ^on(s)|
RewriteRule ^ http%1://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

Thank you so much! I removed the Wp Super Cache plugin with all setting files. Then re-enabled. So, it worked!
