was an error message on the Phorum and shortly after, the www.pmwf.com took too long to respond. I am posting this here, so it is documented in case something is really wrong. Here is the error message I got:

Warning: mysqli_connect() [function.mysqli-connect http://www.pmwf.com/Phorum/function.mysqli-connect> ]: (42000/1203): User pmwf already has more than 'max_user_connections' active connections in/usr/www/users/pmwf/Phorum/include/db/mysql/mysqli.php on line 81 The database connection failed. Please check your database configuration in include/db/config.php. If the configuration is okay, check if the database server is running.

have posted the link to this Backup forum over there. I hope our host will deal with the problems. It seems that the server is not down, but running intermittently... not a good sign.

Good night all!

since both are now on the same host. Did the PMWF error take down TZ as well? Yikes...

created too many MySQL connections. At least that is what I hope

Hmm...hope they don't view our tactics as subversive or anything. LOL

they had to reboot. Running out of database connections is not a good thing, for any server.

However reaching the limit of a parameter (open MySQL connections) should not bring a server down. That is why parameters have a limit or threshold.

I really hope that there is something else wrong and that it will not affect us anymore.

If ever a forum guru needed a break, it's you my friend. Hopefully it's temporary and easily resolvable.
