Whew! After another whole day working with my web host wondering why mysql_connect wasn't working, Level 2 support figured it out pretty quickly: apparently there was some unrelated IP address that needed to be added to the Access Hosts list. Bizarre, because it appears to be a dedicated IP for some unrelated web site on the server.

Thanks again, Rick, for tracking down the source of this non-Threads problem!

Um, I am having the same problem!

And I'm really tired--with a head-ache to boot--HOW DO YOU FIX IT?!

This is the message I get:



I don't even think I can get into the control panel.

And if this is something MySql related, I'm really screwed because that stuff is Greek to me.

This is basically stating that you've reached the max connections allowed to MySQL. Are you on a shared server or is this your own server? If it's your own/dedicated server then it's just a matter of bumping up max_connections if the server has the resources.

If you're on a shared host, then it's a bit tricky. The error message is the global one, meaning that they have a set amount of connections for all domains on the machine, and it's being reached, and they might not bump it.

It's her own server; I bumped it up to something insanely high that she should never reach and restarted MySQL... Luckily she caught me yesterday morning before i went to bed...
