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

max_user_connections is being reached on your server. Contact your host and ask them to up the number of max_user_connections to something like 250.

Persistent connections should always be turned off, so if turned on, you should disable it.

Sometimes its just the SQL server being stupid, my old host went through a phase of giving me that error, sometimes just reloading the page helped.

But increasing the max_user_connections is the right plan
