Forum Vbulletin database error but i can still access database via phpMyAdmin, wat's wrong?
 

Hi everyone,

i have a technical error that's been bothering me.

I encounter Vbulletin database error with my two forums now and then
( http://www.asiaphoto.com/forum.php - running VB4.0.1 )
( http://www.photographybeijing.com - running v3.8.4 )

such database errors go like

Quote:
Database error The database has encountered a problem. Please try the following:

• Load the page again by clicking the Refresh button in your web browser.
• Open the www.asiaphoto.com home page, then try to open another page.
• Click the Back button to try another link.

The www.asiaphoto.com forum technical staff have been notified of the error, though you may contact them if the problem persists.
We apologise for any inconvenience.

i have a couple of joomla websites also running on databases and they encounter similar database errors too.

right now, both the forums and the joomla websites have been down for the past 90 minutes.


Yet ironically, i can access the databases via PhpMyAdmin where i can still read the data plus do backups.

Anyone has any idea what's wrong?

i'm using Mediatemple for webhosting.
