Too many connections

Since you were so great at solving a problem I had with the human verification test, do you know the answer to this?

I'm running version 2.2 of the advanced guestbook. Sometimes I get this message when trying to open the guestbook page to view entries:

Warning: mysql_connect(): Too many connections in /home/chr../public_html/forum/lib/mysql.class.php on line 23

I also receive a warning email message automatically generated.

Any ideas?

The warning is pretty self explanatory. Your website is sending to many queries to the database. This can happen if you have a lot of scripts running that connect to the database or you just have a bad host.

You get sent the email because you put an email address in the config.inc.php file.

ps. I hope your 2.2 is patched.

Thanks for your help, Carbonize.

It seems there is nothing I can do then. My provider is reasonable, but admitably cheap so I guess this occasional issue to something I have to just put up with.

Define cheap.

Cheap does not always mean bad. Mine is cheap as far as cost in what I get for what i pay per year.

I have two hosts. One is £20 per year and absolute crap. My actual hosts cost me £31 for the year and is great. First host is UK based and real host is US. All praise the mighty weak dollar

Now translate that into US instead of that brit stuff.
