I just finished to read about 10 or 12 discussions about the same problem by other WP users an they all finish in the same way “ Create Your Own Forum Topic” … I just ask if someone could jump into my site and tell me what the problem is because I only have 2 choices of errors 1) too many redirects (uh ?) and 2) when I am finally in it and publish (at least try to) … connection lost blah blah. Try to put a 30 to 40.000 words post online with this and you’ll go insane. So please help ! Thank You * PS – I forgot to say that in the same hosting account and domain, I have another wp running it’s a 4.3 or something and I have not experienced 1 single error there. this WP runs in a [http://www.eucmh.com](http://www.eucmh.com) subdirectory - This topic was modified 9 years, 5 months ago by [babaorum](https://wordpress.org/support/users/babaorum/).

I’m having no problems viewing your site on the front end. * A couple of thoughts: * 1. Your host is running mod_security and they have a misconfigured rule that is catching you — either with the heartbeat used for autosave or the save itself. Ask your host to check their logs. * 2. Is your site, in fact, [http://www.eucmh.com](http://www.eucmh.com)? You said something about a subdirectory. Putting one WP site below another can often cause problems. * Thread Starter [babaorum](https://wordpress.org/support/users/babaorum/) * (@babaorum) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/connection-lost-redirect/#post-8630220) * Yes I have serious problem to connect to the site (to many redirects) but when I am in it and editing I need to be extremely careful with saving and editing because as soon as the Connection Lost message starts I have to go smoke a cig while waiting and to say the true … since a couple of week I am on 3 packs a day … before I was 15 to 20 cigs … * Well in fact I am using WP since V 2. whatever and have auto upgrade on full time (WP) it worked so for years until after an upgrade WP didn’t find images anymore. After trying to find the issue for days and didn’t find a solution I decided to redo the entire site – so you have the old site [http://www.members.eucmh.com](http://www.members.eucmh.com) and the new [http://www.eucmh.com](http://www.eucmh.com) ! The old one never give an error (I am fishing every post in this one) while redoing the post into the new site drive me crazy with the connection lost errors. * Moderator [Steven Stern (sterndata)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sterndata/) * (@sterndata) * Volunteer Forum Moderator * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/connection-lost-redirect/#post-8630259) * How did you install the new site? * Thread Starter [babaorum](https://wordpress.org/support/users/babaorum/) * (@babaorum) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/connection-lost-redirect/#post-8630267) * as usual with WP – fresh copy and new DB * Thread Starter [babaorum](https://wordpress.org/support/users/babaorum/) * (@babaorum) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/connection-lost-redirect/#post-8630314) * what could make widget (only the free text ones) disappear – I have recoded them twice today and suddenly poof they’r gone … ? * Thread Starter [babaorum](https://wordpress.org/support/users/babaorum/) * (@babaorum) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/connection-lost-redirect/#post-8631231) * I have send Steve message to support @ my host and they opened a ticket.

The issue isn’t due to misconfiguration of mod_security and its not possible to check the server logs for this error. The issue is due to the database query limit being exceeded. A test database script at [http://www.eucmh.com/testdb.php](http://www.eucmh.com/testdb.php) currently loads the error : User ‘gunter’ has exceeded the ‘max_questions’ resource( current value: 300000) * The database related to website is ‘eucmh2015’. The above mentioned error occurs when the user ‘gunter’ of this database exceeds the hourly query limit that’s set for username of a database. The hourly query limit is 300000. If this query limit is exceeded, then the WordPress website will redirect to installation page. This setting is in place to ensure that the MySQL database cannot be overloaded with to many query requests. * It appears that, the script(s) related to your website’s plugins/theme/widgets are not closing the MySQL connection after accessing the database and thus causing the query limit to exceed. Unfortunately, we can’t say which exact script(s) is/are causing the issue. Please contact your website developer and have them make sure that the script(s) of your website’s plugins/themes/widgets close the MySQL connection properly and are optimized so that they don’t cause the query limits to be exceeded. It is also possible that, your website’s pages/posts are getting frequent hits from a specific IP address through brute force tools or manually or from other websites. You can check raw logs available in the /stats directory or check the Visitor Statistics for such possibilities and use security plugins to block traffic from unwanted IPs. Please contact your website developer or online forums for more information regarding these kind of plugins. * If you have any further questions, please chat with us at [http://www.startlogic.com/chat/](http://www.startlogic.com/chat/). * Sincerely, * Praful K Technical Specialist * Thread Starter [babaorum](https://wordpress.org/support/users/babaorum/) * (@babaorum) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/connection-lost-redirect/#post-8638836) * @t_p your right I didn’t even notice I was gone into someone else’s thread 🙂 sorry * Thread Starter [babaorum](https://wordpress.org/support/users/babaorum/) * (@babaorum) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/connection-lost-redirect/#post-8655680) * Hello Have someone found a solution with this permanent problem ? It’s seems that since 4.7.1 it doesn’t happen anymore so often but it still happen and the killing part is this strange redirect to site/wa-admin/install.php ….
