For some reason I can’t explain, I sometimes (not always) get a message saying:

Warning: mysql_affected_rows() [function.mysql-affected-rows]: A link to the server could not be established in /home/minui34/public_html/forum/bb-includes/db-mysql.php on line 177

Any reason why?

“A link to the server could not be established” It seem like the database server suddenly disconnect your connection.

By any chance do you use remote database server?

What version of BB are you using and what versions of PHP and SQL?

[@madeck Member 15 years, 6 months ago]

bbPress version 0.9.0.4

PHP version 5.2.6

MySQL vesrion 5.0.67-community-log

Someone told me to change :

$this->rows_affected = mysql_affected_rows();

for :

$this->rows_affected = mysql_affected_rows($this->dbh);

I’d upgrade to 0.9.0.5 personally but you could try that too

I’ve updated. The bug is still there. I got it fixed by putting into comment

<?php endif; echo "<!--"; do_action('topicmeta'); echo "-->"; ?>

I did that because I think that was around where the error occured.
