MyBB has experienced an internal SQL error and cannot continue.

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


What do I do

Sounds like too many people are trying to access your site. Does your host limit you on MySQL queries per day? Or just a bad server?

Contact your host and ask them to up the max number of connections.

You need to ask them to raise your max_user_connections setting.
