Wordpress Randomly Stops Being Able to Connect to MySQL

Hello everyone!

I know that DiscountASP.NET does not support WordPress explicitly but none-the-less I prefer it as a blogging platform and I am trying to get it to function on my site. It works great, but a few times a day I'll get an ugly 'unable to establish connection with mysql01.discountasp.net'

Here's the message exchange that proceeded between me and tech support:

And the final reply from tech support

Anyone know what might be causing this? Does anyone know why the error message won't go away unless I clear the authenticated session? Thanks!

 

anyone?

 

It sounds more like the database is reaching the max connection limit more then anything else. I don't think it due to the query taking too long to process since you said that it works great but from time to time you get the error. Make sure you go through all your coding and insure that the connections are properly being closed.

 

The tool that I'm using is WordPress, which is a very well known and used blogging platform, even though it is not supported explicitly by DiscountASP.NET. I didn't write any of the code myself but I am aware that is has been heavily validated and tested by the WordPress.org development team. What sparks my interest is the fact that the error doesn't clear itself up until AFTER i clear my session data on the client using firefox.
