Hey there! Do you see any additional logs in the MySQL error log at the time this happens? Can you also confirm your credentials work manually on the command line of the server for that user? You can check this with this command:

Code:
mysql -u database_username -p
and then it will prompt for that user's password. If that connects, you can be sure your credentials are good.

Thanks for that clarification - from the way the original post was worded I thought this was only one site having a problem.

Can you check the MySQL error log to see if there is anything helpful shown during the time when the issue happens?

Thanks for providing that output. That all looks normal to me - is there anything else before the "Normal Shutdown" entry at the top of that log? that particular section doesn't give us enough information to tell us what the problem may be.

Are you noticing MySQL having a high load before that shutdown? If so, and if you're able to see it in real-time, if would be a good idea to run this command on the server:

Code:
mysqladmin proc status
as that will show you everything MySQL is doing.

I don't think the output from right now will help us. What I meant was if you were able to catch the problem in real-time, running that command could be helpful to see what is happening on the machine. It isn't going to tell us much when things are working well.

You may need to work with a database administrator to fix this problem by having that person monitor the server during the time the issue happens and see what is causing the behavior.
