Hi,
Last night I started getting a strange error from my MediaWiki installation
--
Sorry! The wiki is experiencing some technical
difficulties,
and cannot contact the database server.
User wolfandt_wiki has already more than 'max_user_connections'
active connections"
The wiki has been running over a month and I've not had this problem before
so I wondered if maybe my host had changed something, but they say they
haven't --
Max user connections has not been changed. You will
want to
check your code to make sure that your mysql connections are
being closed and not left open as thats the main cause for
exceeding that limit of 100 connections.
To be honest I'm always a little suspicious when my host company says that
nothing has changed, in the past that has turned out to be false, but other
aps I host there, all of which also use MySQL, are and were running just
fine and this morning MediaWiki appears to be running fine with no harm to
the wiki itself.
Does anyone have any idea what might have caused that error message or how I
might avoid it happening again?
