The server has maxed out the number of MySQL connections it allows. This is a server-wide limit, not just your forums. You can try turning persistent connections off in your config.php:

$config['MasterServer']['usepconnect'] = 0;

But if you still have problems after that, all you can do is ask your host to raise the maximum number of connections they allow.

Here is more info on that error:

it seems that $config['MasterServer']['usepconnect'] = 0; is off by default in config.php

also,my board has several users so no traffic...and i am on a dedicated server with 1 more site,which doesn't have so much traffic.

i rly don't know if this is of any importance, but i've set my dbtype at the install to msqli . i do have php5 and mysql4 but i don't know if it's the right option,so any feedback is appreciated. i will try to set the max connections higher,tho i doubt it it's from there.

[vexxy]

also the mysql and mysqli max links and connect is set to unlimited

I keep getting the same error as the posted. Got 670 members on the site but the errors happen mostly at night. Any other information in this. It just recently started happening.

as i said in my previous post...the max connections is set to unlimited in my server config...tnx anyway

[Steve Machol]

The error is pretty clear. Just check the MySQL site. I am not aware of any way to set this to 'unlimited' so that is most likely the problem right there.

I got the exact same error today, for the first time. It turned out that my host was playing around with limitations for both max_connections in mysql and mail sending limitations. It's either your host, or a flood. Contact your webhost to block the IP's specified in the e-mail, but first check them so that they don't belong to any of your usual members and spiders (ex Googlebot or Yahoo!Slurp).
To view the maximum connections allowed by mysql, go to you admincp->Maintenance->Diagnostics->System Information(MySQL Variables)->Submit. Check the value of max_connections.
