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

Edit: Error message removed for security reasons.


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.

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.
