Forum is having MySQL errors ("Too many connections")

Post by czietz »

Hi,

today (and sometimes during the last few days) an error page came up instead of the forum. It complained about "too many connections" to the underlying MySQL database. Heavy load? Something wrong with the DB or server? Perhaps a forum admin should have a look.

Regards
Christian

Seems to be fixed, thanks!

Dal fixed it yesterday after Lonny messaged me on Saturday.

The reason is still under investigation as to why.
Main site: www.mug-uk.co.uk - digging up bits from my past: Atari ST, ZX Spectrum, Sega 8-bit (game hacks) and NDS (ripping guides). I host a C64 Radio Show for a mate, Max Hall via www.chipsidshow.co.uk

I develop a free Word (for Windows) add-in for Word 2007 upwards. A toolbox that will allow power Word users to fix document errors. You can find it at: mikestoolbox.co.uk
