Thanks to all who applied but I was able to get access to the log file today. The server was shutting down and it seemed to be a performance problem.
I increased the RAM in the server and adjusted the Innodb settings to take advantage of this.
Now everything is much better.

Hello,
Earlier today I tried to make some table alterations on a mysql server (4.0.24) and kept on receiving this error:
ERROR 2013: Lost connection to MySQL server during query
I would login to the server, either through the socket or using the IP. Then connect to a database and try the following:
CREATE INDEX hostdate ON syslog (machine,date1);
There are about 3 million rows .. about a minute or two into the command I would get disconnected. Sometimes I could log back but not others, I tried seaching google and the only answer I found was "This is fix the in the next release of 5.X.X".
This does not help as I am stuck with 4.0.X right now.
How can I fix this ?
Michael
Is the server crashing? What does your error log say? If you're using 4.0.x, then my first hunch would be table corruption. Have you checked for that yet?
