XF 1.5 Too many connections error?

[Tristan10]

Every once in a while I get an error on my site. Can anyone tell me what is causing this and how I might be able to prevent it? Thanks.


An exception occurred: Too many connections in /home/rivalfo1/public_html/library/Zend/Db/Adapter/Mysqli.php on line 333

Are you on your own server, or shared hosting? If shared hosting there probably isn't much you can do

Shared hosting.

You can try asking your host to increase the limit, but if it's due to other users on the same server or a limit cap, as mentioned, there's not much you can do other than to switch servers/packages/hosts.

To increase the max connections settings in my.cnf (the SQL configuration file).
max_connections = XXX where XXX is a reasonable # of connections (I use 500 which is overkill, but my server has more than adequate memory).
