Database Error

[John Lester]

That error means that the connection to your host was interrupted, it doesn't *usually* mean that something broke with the forums.

Hi hope someone can help
Tonight when tidying up some threads, my site went down.
All I got was a front page with a VB logo saying "database error" and that the site had encountered an error an the admins had been emailed. Having never received an email for an error, i went into my domains webmail "all mail" box and low and behold, error reports had been sent.
To my surprise, I've had quite a few!!


Anyway, the latest is this....

Database error in vBulletin :

mysql_connect() [<a href='function.mysql-connect'>function.mysql-connect</a>]: Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 111

MySQL Error :

By the time i'd finished typing this thread for help, I refreshed my page and the site was back... but it's a worry.
Can any of the clever people let me know if anything stands out as to what the problem was
Thanks
