Occasionally, whenever I try to edit content or a taxonomy permission, I receive the following error message:

Warning: MySQL server has gone away query: INSERT INTO watchdog (uid, type, message, severity, link, location, referer, hostname, timestamp) VALUES (1, 'php', 'MySQL server has gone away\nquery: SELECT sid FROM sessions WHERE sid = '37e6217f4b191a8a066ad18d5efee529' in /home/user/public_html/website/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 172.', 2, '', 'http://mywebsite.com/website/admin/user/access', 'http://mywebsite.com/website/admin', '59.50.210.13', 1178413858) in /home/user/public_html/website/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 172

Is this serious? What is wrong and how can I fix it?

Thanks much,

Pete

MySQL server has gone away
is pretty serious, but is a symptom of system-level problems.

Could be your database is a bit corrupt. Specifically the watchdog table. May be full or need repairing.
Use your favorite MySQL admin interface to see if there's any maintainence you can do to it.

I continue to get an error w/ database.mysql.inc on line 172. whenever I create content types with "multiple values" checked.
