WordPress unable to connect to SQL database

· Linux, Software, www

Yesterday, three blogs I'm hosting suddenly went offline and alerts went off.

They all had the same error that they couldn't connect to their SQL database, and it seemed that the container recently was auto-updated.

Docker logs also showed (which may or may not have been related):

2024-02-21  7:30:29 97 [Warning] Aborted connection 97 to db: 'unconnected' user: 'unauthenticated' host: '192.168.200.4' (This connection closed normally without authentication)

This was odd. I started the usual troubleshooting:

Wordpress iPhone plugin

· Software, www

For those using the PDA & iPhone wordpress plugin, which turns your blog into something more readable on a mobile device, don’t forget to add the Google analytics script to your footer.php (in both iphone-theme and pda-theme directory). As other plugins seem to be disabled.

This is actually also meant for me, as a reminder, for when I update the plugin. ;)

Wordpress stats

· Errors, Software, www

Took me a while to figure out what went wrong.

With the new Firefox (v3) and the wordpress update, I was no longer able to see my Wordpress stats on my dashboard.

Every (Wordpress) login attempt, to see the stats, resulted in… Well nothing. I just kept getting back to the login page. No error.

Actually, I have “third-party cookies disabled” on all my browsers; I don’t like to have cookies from sites I do not visit. And this was the cause of the problem.
