Database error !

[EhsanAhmad]

Hi guys, i keep getting the following error 5 or 6 times a day do you know what might be causing this and how can i fix this:

mysql_connect() [<a href='function.mysql-connect'>function.mysql-connect</a>]: Too many connections
/public_html/forum/includes/class_core.php on line 311

Thanks

Your exceeding the set limit of connections to your database.

You need to Edit my.cnf (Typically /etc/my.cnf or /etc/mysql/my.cnf or /etc/my.ini)

max_connections = xxx

You need to raise the current value by 100

Then restart mysql

That should sort you out.
