Hey guys and gals.
I have a reseller account at Hostgator and have for years.
I used to run my main forum off there but over the last year things seem to be getting worse and worse with Hostgator.
I started getting sql gone away errors every day.
So moved my forum to a VPS. Same problem.
Moved back to reseller and continued (obviously with shared i guess)
Anyway after many many support tickets i decided to move host.
After much investigating i come to the opinion that the wait_timeout: set way too low. Its currently set at 3600 but can be set as high as 28800.
The host wont set individual settings regarding MySQL in shared environments which i understand but just thought i would ask if anyone else has encountered this issue with them?
And i know i could have changed the wait_timeout on the VPS but at that time i was not sure what the error was created by.
ps once moving host the problem has gone obviously
