TYPO3 Core

This problem still occurs in 4.6.0 and 4.6.1, when trying to update translations in EM. no_pconnect TRUE or FALSE makes no difference. I have plenty DB connections. Tried several BE admin users accounts and browsers FF & Chrome. It happens 100% of the attempts.

Never experienced this issue before, it's new for me since 4.6.x.

Message, as known:
"Connection Problem
Sorry, but an error occurred while connecting to the server. Please check your network connection."

This config setting doesn't help anymore:
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['EXT']['showOldModules'] = TRUE;

So I guess, many people are left with essential functions not working and not able to bypass it... do you like the Drupal approach that much? ;-) You can't close this issue with "it's not a core problem" because it's the em code that invokes the problem, the solution should be different.

Additionally: using PHP 5.3.5

In the meantime tried it on a completely different server (the other one was Gentoo, this is Ubuntu) with hardly active connections so plenty of space. The same problem occurs. PHP5.3.2.

So, is it a bug or not? I do think so.

Found some descriptions with Firebug:

e._flyweights is undefined
[Afbreken op deze fout] (function(){var h=Ext.util,j=Ext.each,...lclick",this.onNodeDblClick,this)}});

Ext.EventManager is undefined
[Afbreken op deze fout] window.undefined=window.undefined;Ext=...window.attachEvent("onunload",a)}})();

Why this ticket is closed?
Same Problem in 2 systems after update from 4.6 to 4.7 on different Servers.

There was no hint that the problems described here were caused by TYPO3.

If you have any information which points to TYPO3 we would be happy, because it could help solve a yet unknown issue. If the problem only occurs during EM updates, please try to increase the MySQL setting wait_timeout: fetching the extension list might take some time.
