Unable to connect to database ! MySQL said: Too many connections

[springbox99]

Hello,
I have problems with my website since yesterday.
For the second times, i'm unable to access to it.
It says : "Unable to connect to database ! MySQL said: Too many connections"

Somebody else have this matter ?

Thank you.

EDIT : I'm on level

level seems to go down very frequently

Hi, what is your website's domain name?

Shared-hosting providers generally allow a pretty small amount of simultaneous connections.

 

[springbox99]

My website's domain name is springbox-airsoft.fr

 

[zinteenx]

@springbox99 you should make the themes change through ajax rather than a page reload

Hi, I don't receive any errors; do you still get them?

 

[springbox99]

Yes, i do. Always the same error.
I can't log in database, even with cpanel.

 

[usama_rasab27]

Hi, could you paste the code here where you connect to the database. Remove the database name, username & password.

 

[usama_rasab27]

I'm not sure if this will work but try clearing your browser cache.

 

[zinteenx]

how would that work?

 

[usama_rasab27]

Well, I'm not really sure if it would, but it's worth a shot. @springbox99 , could you post the 'code' where you connect to the database, remove usernames and passwords.

server [ Vox ] -- MySQL error ==>2002<== : ==>Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)<==

server [ Level ] -- MySQL error ==>1040<== : ==>Too many connections<==

There are issues with MySQL on two of the three free-hosting servers at this time

Same here...looks like we'll have to wait until someone from staff takes a look.
Until then...long live the cache system

It is but it requires some php knowledge:
Assuming you have a copy of your website (+db) on your computer, you can generate some static (html) pages with the content, upload them in a directory of your main website and write a short script to display these pages instead, when the database is offline. Then...another small script should update these files whenever the database is online and there's a newer version -see php: ob_start() / ob_get_contents() / ob_flush(). This way you won't have to query the database to generate every page a visitor requests: just serve the static pages.
