I know that this probably isn't the right place to do this, but I'd really like some impartial advice with troubleshooting a vB/MySQL/hosting issue. I'm getting a LOT of vB database error emails with the "too many connections" error. my host says that this value in my.cnf hasn't changed from their fixed shared server value, which is 25. Initially they were coming at specific times (such as 02.02 am) but now seem to be coming several times a day. I had maybe two database hiccups in the two years since I started using the host (hostgator) both times were "MySQL Server Has Gone Away" which I took to mean database server rebooting. Throughout that time I started on 3.7.2 and gradually upgraded, ending with 3.8.6 running a lot of vb.org mods.
The errors have only happened since I upgraded to 4.0.3 and now I'm in the position that host is blaming vB, vB is blaming host/mySQL.
I'm the first to admit I'm a bit out of my depth with some of this stuff, so I'm looking for advice on where to start digging to get to the bottom of this, at least unti xenForo goes Gold In terms of 4.0.3 mods I was running an antispam and a lower breadcrumbs mod, plus tapatalk plugin. (I've just in the last hour disabled vbstopforumspam and lowerbreadcrumbs. tapatalk is still running).
I'm getting a bit frustrated to wake up every morning to see 30 or more vB error emails in my inbox...
