I'm running a small, personal, rarely used MediaWiki site. Actually, two, off the same server and database. Because of lack of PHP 5 support at my host, I'm using MediaWiki 1.6.10. Yesterday, one of the two wikis stop working, returning the following error: WeddingWiki has a problem Sorry! This site is experiencing technical difficulties. Try waiting a few minutes and reloading. (Can't contact the database server: Too many connections (10.1.1.12:3309)) Now, if this was really a database problem, then I would expect the other wiki to give similar errors. And phpMySQL should have stopped working as well. But those work just fine, and only one wiki is having problems. Searching, I found two similar errors. At wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Troubleshooting#Too-Many_Connections… is oriented toward contributors, and the error text doesn't quite match anyway. On this list, one other person mentioned the error back in Sept 2005, but he was told to just fix his MySQL number of connections. Again, because this only happens in one instance of MediaWiki, I do not believe the problem is in the database.
