MyBB Too Many Connection Errors Again!

[thomas83]

This is the 2nd time I have to report this!

x10Hosting user: sarcadex
I run a MyBB forum. http://sarcade.net/
And I've been getting this error that says "1040 - Too many connections"
I looked this up and it's from the max_user_connections inside the SQL database.
I don't know if I can change that, which I don't think I can.
So how could I fix this error? It's an off and on error.

I'm getting tired of this problem.

I think they limit mysql connection for free users and you cant change it.
Upgrade to premium

It's not "limited for free users". It's a per-server setting (for performance). Increasing the number of allowed connections means that there will be a greater chance of the request timing out while your query is in the queue. Different error, but still an error — and there would actually be a greater chance of that happening than a connection pool collision.

Being on a less crowded server with fewer other accounts making connections you will see the error happening less frequently (if ever). Yes, going to Premium (or Illuminated) will accomplish that.

I get this error with just 2 people viewing my website. Explain that...

Again, it's connections per server. You are sharing a server with thousands and thousands of other accounts, and many of them are also using database connections at any given time. (And do keep in mind that not all of the software/scripts that people are using are well-written and economical with their database connection and use.)

That's the down side of Free Hosting, and the reason it can be free.
