I used quick wordpress install (Application > Wordpress on Ubuntu 13.10) Then I used Wp Super cache plugin for caching. When I get huge traffic I got “database error”. Then I researched and found swapping. (https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-add-swap-on-ubuntu-12-04) After swapped, everything was fine but today, when I get more traffic again I got “database error” again. I dont know what will I need to do. Can anyone help me?
