MyBB SQL Error

MyBB has experienced an internal SQL error and cannot continue.

SQL Error:
1040 - Too many connections
Query:
[READ] Unable to connect to MySQL server

Please contact the MyBB Group for support.
You need to ask your host to raise your max_user_connections setting.
Where is that file located.
And what if they dont?
Its come back online Confused How do i prevent this from happening?
If they don't you might need to change hosts, too many people are trying to connect to your database, more than your host allows, so if they won't raise the limit, you probably won't have any other choice.

It probably stopped because the number of people trying to access the database went down to a level the host allows, but if more people try and connect again, you'll get the error again, so your host just needs to raise the limit.
But i had like 3 users online lol
Well, that's what the error means, too many people trying to connect, maybe your host recently changed the settings or something.
Straight over my head lol, i had 57 online earlier it was fine, i have 3 on, and get an error
Maybe they were fiddling with the settings then. If it doesn't happen again, good news, if it does, you'll just need to ask them why.
Thanks
