Topic: Getting an Error Message

Hi all, I am getting an occasional error mesage on my forum, but I am suspecting it is not my forums fault ???

An error was encountered
Error: Unable to connect to MySQL server. MySQL reported: Too many connections.

Any clues, I wondered if it was the Provider where my forum resides

Cheers

Re: Getting an Error Message

The error indicates that your server mysql connection is either set too low, or it has too many mysql applications seeking connections.

There are two solutions to this situation and your server admin will have to deal with it :-

1. tweak the mysql configuration to kick out non-active connections faster, or increase the connection count if the server is able to handle more concurrent connections.

2. identify the application that is taking up the connections and move it to a less congested server.
