MediaWiki-l Digest, Vol 38, Issue 12

Hello:

I apologize if I replied twice to this response, but I left
out the  
previous messages in my last reply so I'm guessing that no
one knew  
what I was talking about.

Anyway, we did run update.php. The entire upgrade was done
from the  
command line and appeared to have completed without a hitch.

Interestingly, we did the upgrade about 3 weeks ago and the
error  
message did not start showing up until about 4 days ago. 
Our remote  
host says that it's because of increased traffic to the site
but I am  
not totally convinced of this explanation. I just want to
make sure  
that something else is not going on (if that's possible).

We are currently running MediaWiki v 1.8.2, php 5.1.1 and
mysql  
4.1.15. Should we upgrade to the latest version of mysql?
I'm just  
not sure where the source of the problem is or even where to
start  
looking.

Again, here is the error message we are getting:

I'm pretty concerned because our site has been down quite a
lot over  
the past few days.

Thanks for any help or suggestions you can offer.
