 * I am getting this error when I attempt to post a new article:
    WordPress database
   error: [Lost connection to MySQL server during query] INSERT INTO wp_postmeta(
   post_id,meta_key,meta_value) VALUES (‘338′,’_pingme’,’1′)
 * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started
   at /homepages/10/d107237466/htdocs/blog2/wp-includes/wp-db.php:102) in /homepages/
   10/d107237466/htdocs/blog2/wp-admin/post.php on line 60
 * I followed the advice (or tried to) in the trouble-shooting guide, but I could
   find no extra “white space” on line 102 of wp-db.php
 * My posts still publish … but I get that error every time. Also, my header file
   in not displaying. This only happened after the upgrade.
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you

 * “Lost connection to MySQL server during query”
    It means that the connection 
   is dropping – a hosting problem. Does it happen every time?

 * no … it stopped giving me the error a little while ago. I still can’t figure 
   out why my header image does not display.

 * This is your header image name:
    `robertheader.jpg%3E`
 * I’m guessing you probably don’t want the `%3E` . :>)

 * that’s really odd … since it’s the same header I’ve been using for two years.
   Thanks for spotting it Samboll

 * robertheader.jpg%3E
 * I don’t see this anywhere in my code … where did you find it?

 * Thanks a ton samboll! It isn’t displaying on in my code like what you see … but
   there was an extra bracket which showed to you as %3E.
 * It’s fixed now thanks to you!
