mysql couldn't find the database?

[HOUSCOUS]

Here is the error code:

Warning: mysql_select_db(): 5 is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /data1/www1.ourlinux.net/bbs/sources/Drivers/mySQL.php on line 68
ERROR: Cannot find database ourlinux_net
Warning: mysql_query(): 5 is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /data1/www1.ourlinux.net/bbs/sources/Drivers/mySQL.php on line 101
Warning: mysql_error(): 5 is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /data1/www1.ourlinux.net/bbs/sources/Drivers/mySQL.php on line 313

The strange thing is once we refresh the browser, it will work and the error message's gone.

The most important part of the error is this:

Warning: mysql_select_db(): 5 is not a valid MySQL-Link resource

Check that your connection to the server was successful when calling mysql_connect(), eg, by using the "or die()" check, eg:

$conn = mysql_connect("hostname", "username", "password") or die("Failed to connect to database");
