I get the error when my hosts data center messes up. Not only do I loose my XOOPS DB, I loose
all my databases. The first time this happened to me I was about to go ballistic on my host. Everytime it happens, I just wait it out a few hours and then my databases are restored.
I don't know whats happening, either the data center is backing up things and it knocks me out, or they have serious issues. It really P's me off when it happens, but there is nothing I can do. I have a an emergency index.html file that I make active on a regular basis to let people know there are technical dificulties.
I wonder if there is a way I can set up a cron job to detect the database connection, and if it senses it's missing I can use the cron to automatically rename my backup index.html to show so the site doesn't come up blank.
Bah, just rambling and sharing experiences.
