Hi manivannan and welcome to the Mattermost forums!

To add on what Amy said: The message looks like one of the timeouts got reached in your MySQL installation. Can you reproduce this message or does it only happen from time to time? If you can reproduce it, try to find out after how many seconds it gets printed and when being logged in to your MySQL console, you can run the following command to see all the currently active timeouts:

```sql
SHOW VARIABLIES LIKE "%timeout%";

```

if one of them comes close to the duration you’re experiencing, try to increase it. Some of those variables can be increased on the fly (`SET GLOBAL variable_name = value;`), some require a restart for the change to take effect. Even if you set them using `SET GLOBAL` make sure to persist them in your `my.cnf` file afterwards, if this was the value that helped.  
Also take a look at your slow queries to find out if some of them are running longer than the allotted max query time (there’s also a configuration option for that in your Mattermost’s `config.json`).

Is there any specific reason why you’re still on this ancient version? Custom modifications f.ex.?
