Morrus, are you still working on the MySQL settings?

Just asking because the "To many connections" errors every evening are getting a bit tiresome.

But I guess there isn't much that can be done, right?

Thanks in advance!

I've been getting the "too many connections" errors a lot more frequently too lately. Typically during the busy hours between 12 and perhaps 4 Eastern time. I'm curious if this is due to the server change in part or simply because ENWorld is getting too popular

I've lost atleast 5 posts because of this problem.

I've been running into this problem every weekday from around 11:00 am to 1:00pm US Central time.

On a follow up note:

If the problem is, in fact, site popularity, you could address this by replacing the front page with:

ENWorld New Front Page Designed for Reducing Server Load

I've lost atleast 5 posts because of this problem.

I feared that I lost this entire thread!
It's annoying at times, but at least it is relatively predictable.

It's just a stupid little configuration thing. Easy to fix... except that I've been waiting for 2 weeks for the login details I need to do it. I'm getting rather annoyed with cyberstreet right now.

Well, nothing to offer, save the standard bit of advice:
a) Patience bears sweet fruit, though I'm not sure how much patience you've spent on cyberstreet

b) When in doubt, do your post on <insert your favourite text editor> before posting. Yea, I know, it's troublesome, but better that than losing your post and screaming in agony, right?

Anyway, i seem to be facing similar problems around +/- 1 hour around this time. Just FYI.

Hope everything works out

I know last night it caused some double posting too.

Couldn't you set the max connections to, say, a billion, and not have to worry about it again?
