Provider wants to close my account

[Sparkiller]

Hi,

i´ve the following problem:

My german provider "Host Europe" wants to close my account where i´ve nothing but my vbulletin-Star Wars-forum installed.

He said my forum is pulling down the performance of a whole server. I´m also getting a mail with this error-report about at least 50 times a day:

"Database error in vBulletin 2.2.0:
Invalid SQL: SELECT usergroupid FROM user WHERE userid=3
mysql error: Lost connection to MySQL server during query
mysql error number: 2013
Date: Thursday 27th of December 2001 08:03:32 PM"

The error-message varies everytime, but the error numbers stays the same. Since i´m not much into MySQL, i´ve no idea what to do.

Any help would be appreciated.

The forum is @ www.projektstarwars.de/forum

try turning off persistant connections in your config.php

this could help some. Else try find a new host :). there is a hosting testimonials thread right on top of this forum.

I recommend Ventures Online. :).

I tried the persistand connections tip before, sadly it didn´t work.

You think its the fault of the host and not perhaps a wrong forum setting?

1. Average forum-members + guests is about 10 - 20. Not enough for such problems i think.

2. I collected some infos about the server:

- PHP Version 4.0.6
- MySQL 3.22.32
- Linux sa-webpack.one-2-one.net 2.2.19-6.2.1

- Don´t know how many sites are sharing that server

I wasn´t sure what infos you need. If there´s something missing pls tell me.

hmmm that mysql seems out dated but without knowing how much memory and cpu(s) speed it's hard to say
