Hi,

I've had this error comming up for the last few days and am glad to be able to finally get back on to the site

Cheers

Ugh, another whole weekend lost to this error. Sorry for the downtime.
At the time of failure, there are queries running stuck somehow for hours and hours and hours.
As a workaround, I'm going to write a script to periodically run, check for long-running queries, and kill them.

Bug in phpbb3, but the phpbb team seems in denial about it. We never had any issues with phpbb2.

Hopefully this will be an improvement...

again,
THANKS John, for going through the trouble and giving of your time!

Yeah, thanks John. My day doesn't start right without my Z.

the downtimes are a horror for every serious planetz addicted.

thx for the efforts.

Speaking of Unix, I just had a bug in a WP plugin which I worked on trying to fix for a whole day until I read someone say that he got it fixed by deactivating and activating it 5 times. I tried the same and this solved the problem. Very strange.

Thanks for your efforts in keeping the site going. I experienced the errors this weekend but by Sunday had seen your message instead of the error. I'll just keep trying to login. Problem solved for now.

Once again many thanks

Ok, the workaround is in place. Once an hour, a script runs and kills any planetz queries that have been running for too long.

Hopefully this will fix it.

Please post here if you see that dreaded "max_connections" error again!

Thank you John,

much appreciated!

Has anyone seen this problem the last few weeks?
Seems like the workaround is successful.

It's been ok for us here John.

cheers,

no, not once
only one thing: the RSS always show the 1st page of a thread. no big thing though, since there is "view active topics".
thx 4 all the work
