“Error Creating a Database Connection” (Updated) 0

I got the dreaded above-named error tonight. Fortunately, a quick trip to phpMyAdmin at my hosting provider to do a check, repair, and optimize fixed it and all is back to what passes for normal.

Afterthought:

I use GoDaddy. Their tech support is superb, and I say that as someone who wore a headset for six years.

Addendum, the Next Morning:

This morning I got a MySQL socket error. I ended up rebooting the VPS and everything seems to be working again. If you notice any wackiness, please drop me a note via the email link over there on the sidebar. —————->

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
