<p>The <code>MySQL server has gone away</code> message indicates that the connection to the database was closed, likely because of a request making too many queries or too memory intensive queries. The first step is to track down which requests are causing this, then narrow down which parts of which templates or controller actions and finally optimise the queries. I see a Sprig component is being rendered in the stack trace above, perhaps you can track down the specific template and troubleshoot from there.</p>

<p>Currently helping out on a family run craft commerce site after agency was not very helpful. We are having issues with downtime and I can see a LOT of errors in <code>phperrors.log</code></p>
<p>This is an example of a common one. I was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction on where to dig into the issue. The server is showing no resource issues.</p>
<p>Any help would be much appreciated!</p>

DB Falling Over
# DB Falling Over

(Asked by: username_0 on 2022-07-21)

Currently helping out on a family run craft commerce site after agency was not very helpful. We are having issues with downtime and I can see a LOT of errors in phperrors.log
This is an example of a common one. I was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction on where to dig into the issue. The server is showing no resource issues.
Any help would be much appreciated!

### Answer by username_1 on 2022-07-21. Score: 1

The `MySQL server has gone away` message indicates that the connection to the database was closed, likely because of a request making too many queries or too memory intensive queries. The first step is to track down which requests are causing this, then narrow down which parts of which templates or controller actions and finally optimise the queries. I see a Sprig component is being rendered in the stack trace above, perhaps you can track down the specific template and troubleshoot from there.
