I've been getting this error on my site:
Warning: mysql_connect(): User peter_n_drupaluser has already more than 'max_user_connections' active connections in /home/peter_n/public_html/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 31
User peter_n_drupaluser has already more than 'max_user_connections' active connections
I have searched the forums, but not found any answers. The site does not seem overloaded (far from it) and a suggestion to check the mysql settings with phpinfo look reasonable to me:
Directive Local Value Master Value
mysql.allow_persistent Off Off
mysql.connect_timeout 60 60
mysql.max_links 100 100
mysql.max_persistent 10 10
mysql.trace_mode Off Off
This could well be a shared hosting issue, so I've logged a support ticket (I will report back on that).
One thought I had was that running cron.php was taking up connections, but that doesn't seem likely as I run it once an hour.
Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
