Wordpress database keeps losing connecting since moving to London Host

Posted on July 21, 2014

Hi all,

Since taking a snapshot and moving to the new London host via the guide my website keeps losing connection to the wordpress database. A quick restart of the server fixes this,

Any ideas? I’ve had to move it back to Amsterdam for now.

I’m having the same problem. I asked my son who is a server expert and he checked the apache logs and mysql logs and said “The problem seems like it is mysql consuming more and more memory over time and crashing, and there’s a couple options that might cause this. The most likely one is that there is a bad Wordpress plugin installed so plugins should be updated and if that doesn’t fix it then I should start searching on google for problems with the ones I am using.”
