Serendipity Forums

I tried to upgrade from 0.8-beta4 to 0.8.1, which seemed to work sucessfully. After that I tried to install the beta plugin serendipity_event_userprofile and got this error message when I hit the button to install it:

Warning: mysql_connect(): Can't create a new thread (errno 11). If you are not out of available memory, you can consult the manual for a possible OS-dependent bug in /hsphere/local/home/ekmesnz/dissentispatriotic.net/serendipity/include/db/mysql.inc.php on line 149

Warning: mysql_select_db(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) in /hsphere/local/home/ekmesnz/dissentispatriotic.net/serendipity/include/db/mysql.inc.php on line 150

Warning: mysql_select_db(): A link to the server could not be established in /hsphere/local/home/ekmesnz/dissentispatriotic.net/serendipity/include/db/mysql.inc.php on line 150
DATABASE_ERROR

I get that message every time I try to load a new page in serendipity. Is it a problem resulting from the plugin? Deleting the plugin didn't change anything as far as I can tell (deleting the file -- the plugin never installed after I got the error message).

ok, correction: that problem is not the result of the 0.8.1 upgrade or the plugin: the problem is an occasional one, that has plauged all of my users at some point (some more than others, but that may be pure bad luck).

This error is caused by your MySQL server. It looks as if your server occasionally runs out of memory.
