Regards, [/quote] Thanks for your reply. The number of active connections I'm allowed by my host is 25. It is possible that I'm under attack from a spammer. Recently a spammer was abusing the comments system so I had to make it registered users only for commenting. It actually only began in this way after I did that, and I think they were using some kind of bot because no sooner had I deleted the crap they were posting, the messages would re-appear. I have just woken up to it again, 158 e-mails saying user *** has already more than 'max_user_connections' active connections. I haven't installed any mods except to alter the rdf feed to be RSS 2.0 compatible...could that be it? Also I only get around 250 uniques per day so it's not being overloaded. Thanks for your help

Hi all, I hope somebody can help me, I keep getting this error : Database error: mysql error: User **** has already more than 'max_user_connections' active connections mysql error number: 1203 Date: Wednesday 03rd of May 2006 03:43:02 AM Script: /comments.php?action=post&newsid=861&view=last Referer: I am using virtuanews 1.0.4 pro and until yesterday all was well. Now for the whole of yesterday and this morning I get hundreds of e-mails reporting this error. I e-mailed my host to ask if there was a problem with the MySQL server and he sent me this e-mail back: Hello, What do you have running on this domain? Whatever it is, it's not closing the connections to the database correctly, therefore you've hit your mysql connection limit. If you'll notice the connections are all sleeping, which means they're not doing anything. +-------+------------------+-----------------+--------------------+---------+-------+-------+------------------+ | Id | User | Host | db | Command | Time | State | Info | +-------+------------------+-----------------+--------------------+---------+-------+-------+------------------+ | 1634 | ***** | localhost | *****_virtuanews | Sleep | 6808 | | | | 1873 | ***** | localhost | *****_virtuanews | Sleep | 2296 | | | | 2030 | ***** | localhost | *****_virtuanews | Sleep | 4878 | | | and so on for all my allowed sql connections. This meant that all were taken and nobody could view my site. I've heard it could be something to do with pconnect() or something but have searched through the main scripts that my site uses and can't find any pconnect() Please help as it's ruining the site Thanks Regards
