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 

Any ideas?
Works fine for me.
You need to contact your host.
Yep its back up, what should I say to my host?
That you cot an error saying there were too many connections...?? They need to increase the max_user_connections setting.
Ok thanks. Its kinda strange, seeing as my forum has barely any traffic at all lol
This used to happen me to on my old host, its one of the reasons im no longer with them lol Big Grin
Is it something to do with DNS because i recently changed my name servers?
No, it's nothing to do with DNS. It's connections to your MySQL server.
Ok thanks, solved.
