This week me and my readers are having difficulty to access my blog, it took aged to load the page and it showing some error message, saying "error: [MySQL server has gone away]".
This error mean either the database has been shutdown or the connection to database has been terminated. After some investigation, I found that the database are still alive, so the conclusion is the connection between wordpress to mysql are having some problem.
So, I started to find the root cause behind this, I went through the Mysql variables and saw the "wait_timeout" are set to 100 sec. It just too short to cater some large queries and when the cpu is heavily loaded, connection to Mysql will reach it bottleneck and fails. Some of you may wonder what is "wait_timeout" variable?
wait-timeout is the number of seconds the server waits for activity on a non-interactive connection before closing it. This timeout applies only to TCP/IP and Unix socket file connections, not to connections made via named pipes, or shared memory.I reported this issue immediately to the web hosting provider and within 24 hours, they alter the "wait_timeout" variables to 500 sec. Problem solved.

An anniversary is a time to celebrate the joys of today, the memories of yesterday, and the hopes of tomorrow.
To be able to maintain such a long (five year) relationship with someone I know from ICQ, who would have thought we can make it this far.
Through thick and thin we have been, though we have quarrel sometimes like any other couples did but true love stories never end merely with quarrel.
On this our anniversary, we may not have wealth, but we do have each other. Let's work harder on this relationship and hope we can have everlasting love.
Happy Anniversary Cherry~
