install error

I installed RC5.5 on my test site and everything worked fine. Install no errors and all forms worked. I went to install it on the live site and I initially got a write error. I attempted the install again and saw this.



* JInstaller::install: SQL Error. DB function failed with error number 2006
MySQL server has gone away SQL=DELETE FROM `jos_components` WHERE `option` = 'com_chronocontact';
SQL =

DELETE FROM `jos_components` WHERE `option` = 'com_chronocontact';

* Component Install: SQL Error. DB function failed with error number 2006
MySQL server has gone away SQL=DELETE FROM `jos_components` WHERE `option` = 'com_chronocontact';
SQL =

DELETE FROM `jos_components` WHERE `option` = 'com_chronocontact';

* Error Loading ModulesMySQL server has gone away SQL=SELECT id, title, module, position, content, showtitle, control, params FROM jos_modules AS m LEFT JOIN jos_modules_menu AS mm ON mm.moduleid = m.id WHERE m.published = 1 AND m.access <= 2 AND m.client_id = 1 ORDER BY position, ordering

weird... I tried again and this time it worked. It installed and all forms seem to work. I was able to validate the installation too!

Thanks,

Hi Aaron,

The 'MySQL Server has gone away' message is a hosting problem - usually a sign of a temporarily overloaded database server.

Bob
