mysql error? what can be done?

[numerodix]

Hi, I'm having a frequent problem with vbulletin, the error says "Too many connections", can't connect to the database. This is especially common at times of high traffic (and I'm not talking more than 15-20 users online at the same time). I'm wondering where this error comes from and what can be done to solve the problem.

Thanks!

1. turn pc_connect off in config.php (set it from 1 to 0)

2. change your webhost. This is a limit set by them.

As to Chris' first suggestion, it is the $usepconnect setting that you need to change.

You might try asking your host to up the number of allowed connections before moving.
