# HTTP Errors Once in a While.. Normal?

 * Hi,
 * I’ve been running my blog on WP.org since early 2007 and I have changed hosts
   a couple of times over the last few months because of limits that suspended my
   account.
 * I think I found a reliable host now, but I keep having HTTP errors a few times
   a day. Knowing that I always exported/imported my MySQL database and download/
   upload my files a bunch of times, plus upgrades from WP 2.3 up to 2.8. Is it 
   possible that my install is corrupted and that I should start fresh with a fresh
   install?
 * Is that kind of reformat something that should be considered when hosting a WP
   blog?
 * I never got such errors with other hosts, so either my install is getting bad
   or it’s my host that has problems serving my viewers… no?

 * Thanks esmi, but it’s not the image uploader, it can be any page. View Stats,
   Extensions, it happened a few times while posting an article, just browsing around
   the admin menu.
 * Any other suggestions?

 * Have you tried:
 * – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works,
   re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
 * – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-related problems?
 * – re-uploading all files & folder (except wp-content and your wp-config.php file)
   from a **fresh** download of WordPress?
 * – repairing your database?

 * – repairing database, yes with optimize regularly
    – re-uploading all files, 
   yes with 2.8.6 I did this – switching to default theme, no but my theme is unchanged
   for over 1 year and the problems are recent (since my last host change)
 * -deactivating plugins, yes I had another problem that was caused by a pluging
   and I had do to this. it did not change anything.
 * the more I think of it the more I’m accusing my host… but I just noted that I
   have a huge error log with this error message:
 * Erreur de la base de données WordPress MySQL server has gone away pour la requête
 * I’ll check with my host on that one. first, but a friend suggested me another
   host Webfaction so I might just transfer everything there.

 * Sounds like your host has MySql server problems.

 * Yeah, that’s what they said. Too much traffic on that server.. Guess I’ll have
   to find another host with less crowded servers…

 * It’s been OK for the last two days so I guess the problems should go down. I’ll
   monitor.
 * Thanks!
