 * Please someone help me!
    I have access to my cPanel at Blue Host, but cannot 
   access anything on my website (front or admin). I have talked to Blue Host and
   since this is a WordPress database error (below) they suggested I talk to someone
   who knows WordPress scripts etc. I have tried to repair my database, upload a
   backup, of both database and website. My website is [http://Dave-Carlson.Com](http://dave-carlson.com).
   I suspect that my site has been hacked but I do not have the experience or where
   with all to prove it. I will give my log in information for WordPress.com to 
   anyone that answers this message, however they no longer work. I was also getting
   error messages (besides the one listed below) pertaining to a couple of plugins
   which I was able to delete using FTP.
 * WordPress database error: [MySQL server has gone away]
    SELECT YEAR(post_date)
   AS `year`, MONTH(post_date) AS `month`, count(ID) as posts FROM wp_posts WHERE
   post_type = ‘post’ AND post_status = ‘publish’ GROUP BY YEAR(post_date), MONTH(
   post_date) ORDER BY post_date DESC
 * Sincerely, Dave Carlson

 * Dave_Carlson,
 * Save a copy of your backups both database and site and try installing WordPress
   in a fresh database. Once it’s up and running again delete the original. I just
   noticed this is a WordPress.com question, you really should inquire in the forums
   there first.

 * do you know how to get into phpmyadmin? if so, you need to start by making sure
   your mysql database is okay,
 * To check :
 *  1. Login to phpMyAdmin.
    2. Select the database and click on ‘Structure’ tab.
   3. Right under the list of table there is a “Check All” link. Click on it to 
   select all tables. 4. From a “With selected:” drop-down menu right next to it,
   choose “Check table”.
 * To Repair:
 *  1. Login to phpMyAdmin
    2. Choose the affected database. If you only have one
   database, it should choose it by default so you don’t need to do anything. 3.
   In the main panel, you should see a list of your database tables. Check the boxes
   by the tables that need repair. 4. At the bottom of the window just below the
   list of tables, there is a drop down menu. Choose “Repair Table”

 * Thank you for the posts. I tried the things that were suggested. What I did was
   to basically start over.
 * Thanks again … Dave
