Please contact the MyBB Group for support.


it can run error free for a few hrs and bam ! that thing appears and keeps me out of my board for a few minutes and than it allows me back in,

any help will be greatly appreciated !

I had installed Pirata_Nervo's shoutbox and was thinking that it might be related to my bug, i have uninstalled and deleted it and nope.. that was not it.

thank you guys

Maybe your localhost is too busy?

Try reducing the amount of tasks you run on your OS.

Is your board on your localhost or on a hoster? If it is hosted on the internet, then contact your host.

Seems to be an error on your host side.

I did contact them but they did not help at all.. i will try to bug them a few dozen times.. that might work !

thanks for the help

try changing your db config to "localhost" instead of "127.0.0.1"

Or you can change to a decent host that actually gives your support.

If it's happening intermittently like that it's an issue on their end. What did they say about it??

Is your MySQL server definitely on localhost and not external?

Where do i need to go to change this ? is it in the MyBB settings somewhere or directly on my webhost panel.

./inc/config.php
