A couple of us received this message a few moments ago when trying to access the forums...

This happened whenever we clicked a link. What does it mean?

I done a google search and found this

Quote:
This error indicates that PHP version that is installed on the server is not compatible with the installed version of MySQL. Starting with MySQL version 4.1 a new password encryption method is used while connecting to MySQL database. Thus, if your version of PHP was compatible with pre-4.1 version of MySQL, it will not work with later ones. To resolve the problem you can use one of the following approaches


the rest is here http://www.shop-script.com/help/mysql-later-version-cannot-conect.htm

Thanks for posting regarding the problem. You included everything I need to look into the issue. In all likelihood, this was a one-time occurrence.

Vandermorph, thank you for looking into the issue, but this is not related to what you posted. This is not a version compatability issue. The key portion of the error message was "User has already more than 'max_user_connections' active connections". In other words, something happened to overload the number of database connections at the time of the problem.

Something similar has happened to me and Jenn in the last week.

By "one-time occurance", I am trying to describe an error that goes away after waiting a few minutes and doesn't occur repetitively or every time a certain action is taken. If this happens more than a couple times a week (which shouldn't happen), please report it.

I didn't know if I should make another topic for it as this is already about it but a couple of hours ago when I was trying to get onto here this message appeared :
Quote:

phpBB : Critical Error

I refreshed the page, nothing happened. I waited then refreshed it again, still nothing I did that a few times. Nothing changed so I closed it and when I came on now it was fine but it's happened a few times.

The server had to be restarted, and was down for about 5 or maybe 10 minutes during the time that you were having issues.
