Title: Problem saving posts Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Problem saving posts * [eddron](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eddron/) * (@eddron) * [18 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-saving-posts/) * Hi. * I recently upgraded to 2.5 and started getting big errors when I saved posts. Then I upgraded to 2.5.1 and I’m still getting the same errors. The article usually seems to save but then I get this massing error message (sorry for the length): * > WordPress database error: [Lost connection to MySQL server during query] > UPDATE > wp_options SET option_value = ‘O:28:\”GoogleSitemapGeneratorStatus\”:34:{s: > 10:\”_startTime\”;d:1210739418.5764629840850830078125;s:8:\”_endTime\”;i:0;
