    It seems that your MySQL server going down frequently. If you have root access to the server then monitor the MySQL service or contact your host to fix it.

    You should be catching the exception so you don't get this error.

    If you can run a Cron / Schedualed Task every few minutes to make sure Apache / MySQL / PHP are running correctly and restart them if they're not. If you are on a hosted server complain to your host and move if they don't fix it.
