Over 6 Minutes To Load Shopping_cart.php Images

[jcorrea920]

When I add an item to shopping cart, it takes over 6 minutes to load shopping_cart.php images such as "Check Out" button.

And when they finally appear I get this error message below the shopping cart:

 

2006 - MySQL server has gone away

select countries_id, countries_name from countries order by countries_name

[TEP STOP]

2006 - MySQL server has gone away

select count(*) as total from sessions where sesskey = '4c2614c002079527c57633672b47689d'

[TEP STOP]

 

Could use some assistance in solving this problem. Thanks in advance..
