# update problem – help

 *  758252
 * [17 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-problem-help/)
 * I am getting the following error when I publish a post:
 * `WordPress database error: [Lost connection to MySQL server during query]`
    `
   INSERT INTO wp_postmeta (post_id,meta_key,meta_value) VALUES ('30','_pingme','
   1')`
 * The post is updated in the category, but is not updated in the monthly archive
   nor the index.php page. Obviously a database challenge, but not sure where to
   begin?? Thanks for all help!
