MYSQL Error user **** has already more than 'max_user_connections' active connections

[glennno]

Thanks, Zachery.

This was the explanation I got before:

Another explanation I've heard is that sometimes when people use advanced search the tables get locked.

But...

[glennno]

Really? I was under the impression that you can have many more users logged on than the maximum connections limit, since the connections only occur at the fraction of a second when someone tries to access...

[glennno]

BTW, I would have expected that if too many connection requests come in at once, they would automatically get staggered/delayed rather than shutting down all forum access for 10-15 minutes. That's not...

[glennno]

Yes, as I said earlier: "I'm having trouble figuring it out from those sites." They're not written for people like me who are new to MySQL and don't understand enough of the terminology....

[glennno]

I'm just asking what it means. As I explained, I really do not understand what the terms mean. It sounds like you do, so I'm hoping you could help explain it in layman's terms.

ETA: I've...

[glennno]

Thanks for the speedy reply. I checked, and that setting is already in my config.php.

What are "MySQL connections"? Does that have anything to do with the number of people logged...

There's an old thread on this, but I'm starting a new one as instructed.

I'm getting this error message now, and can't access my forum or adminCP.

I do not understand the explanation...

[glennno]

Sorry to piggyback on this, but it relates. We're getting this one (I generalized the site URL, as you can see):




And then in the list that follows, it shows whatever...

Thanks.

Syrus.xl: Do you happen to know if there's any possible vB security risk with that mod? Does it actually enable HTML in any way? I can't tell. Thanks....

[glennno]

But is that mod actually enabling HTML?

[glennno]

Hmm... anyone know if this mod is safe?

Thank you.

ETA: In the thread title I meant "counted as Members in 'Statistics'".

Is there any way to block a whole usergroup from being counted as Members under "Statistics" on...

[glennno]

Never mind, I got someone to come help. If the problems were unique, I'll post them for helping others.

One thing I noticed: Any apostrophes in Yahoo Group post subjects prevent those posts...

[glennno]

I removed and then redid everything, getting that step right.

Still no luck, but now there's a mysterious thread called "Yahoo catchments thread" in the forum. It is empty, with...

[glennno]

Thanks, Dagoor. Good news/bad news. Good: You pegged the step I missed! Doh! Bad: Unfortunately, it didn't change anything.

Of course I know nothing, but it seems to me the problem happened...

[glennno]

I'm not sure which step I'm messing up here.

I'm importing a very small Yahoo Group. Jerry has helped with some earlier steps, I've spent 12 hours of trial and error figuring more out but...

It's not working, at least not with the image I'm testing. It's an image that was put on my forum as an attachment, and the link to it ends like this: "/attachment.php?attachmentid=1&stc=1&d=1186093455"...

[glennno]

I run a private forum. Is there a way I can prevent members from making external links to photos posted in the forum? I thought I had set something like this, but no luck: a link to an image on my forum...
