I got onto my computer and saw that both my websites on my NFO sub-domain were giving me errors because it could not connect to the MySQL database.
The message I receive when I try to go to the MyBB forum is:
MyBB has experienced an internal SQL error and cannot continue.
SQL Error:
2002 - Connection timed out
Query:
[READ] Unable to connect to MySQL server
Please contact the MyBB Group for technical support.
I check my control panel to see if they were still there, and they are. I also checked my configuration, and all the information is correct. Whats even stranger is that MyBB and my donation site wasn't having this issue before, and how random this error is. Is there anyway to fix this?
If you accidentally configured it to connect to one of your domains instead, it may use the machine's external IP address. That can cause problems because we rate-limit connections on a per-IP basis, and other customers might be doing the same. For a website hosted on the same machine, make sure to always use "localhost".
