I installed ispconfig on my ubuntu server using the perfect setup howto and it worked perfectly for several days then I tried to log into the control panel and got the following error

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Lost connection to MySQL server during query in /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/lib/classes/ispconfig_db_mysql.lib.php on line 77

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Lost connection to MySQL server during query in /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/lib/classes/ispconfig_db_mysql.lib.php on line 77
