Hi I'm an Admin with Wisc. Tiger on the same board.

The following is what a member posted back in July when this problem was happening.

I posted some information in another thread that would help the problem for a while.

This is the error I'm getting:

Invalid MySql query
Too many connections



Do me a favor. I own and run a lot of sites like this one. I'm telling you, if the problem isn't fixed, you're going to find yourselves down a lot longer than just a few minutes at a time. I would also suggest making sure that you have backups in place.

Whoever owns this machines needs to go in and change max_connections in the my.cnf file. On unix it's usually in /etc/my.cnf.

Does that help and how do we fix that?
