My website URL is: http://mmk2search.epizy.com/

What I’m seeing is: Error connectiong to database, connection is unstable

I’m using this software: WordPress

Additional information:

Doens’t happen everytime; the error triggers in every page

About second warning: I see you’re using mysql_*, Which will be removed in future php versions.

You should change your php version to 5.6.

First and Third errors are Also happening to me sometimes.

but what worries me are the connection refuses…

Check the line number mentioned.

I believe that’s WordPress falling back on the legacy mysql extension because it can’t connect with the newer mysqli extension. It’s a weird design choice from WordPress, but completely normal. And definitely not a reason to downgrade your PHP version.

Do you have any indication as to when this happens? Your website was working fine just now.

Then What’d happen if that be removed in next php versions?

The same as what happens now: it will try to connect with mysqli first and if that fails, it will try to connect with mysql. Which will also fail, just because of a different reason.

Right now the problem is showing…sometimes it happens also during the page generation (a styled page with debug text contained in it is returned)
