Flyertalk Database Problems

Getting a lot of these today browsing through FT:

Connection failed: SQLSTATE[HY000] [1040] Too many connections

It's almost a real airline website

Exclamation

I have not seen any of these; but any information you can give would be helpful:

1. What forums or other areas of FT were you browsing when the errors occurred?
2. What is your browser TYPE and VERSION?
3. Have you cleared your browser cache & cookies?

Thanks!

We did have a db maintenance window late last night; if you saw errors then, that would be the culprit.

Have there been any today?

Can you please indicate with the action you were performing when you encountered an error.

If possible; may I ask you to please "View Source" on the page where you encounter the database error message and provide the content.

Thank you

Sorry! I honestly don't remember. Seems fine now though.

  1. Home page and several forums
  2. Firefox/Safari most recent
  3. Yes

It sounds like the culprit was the database update.

Tech is investigating the issue:

- Logging has not yet surfaced an issue

- Will be much appreciated - If possible; next time you encounter the error; please "view source" on your browser and provide the output.

your mysql config needs some tweaking, or search server further offloading

I got lots of database errors for a while on Monday morning too, using Safari on an ipad2. This error page tended to pop up whenever I wanted to click on a thread by going either to the last post or the first unread post. These were not large threads that I was trying to acess. I didn't notice any problems in going to the first page of the same threads, nor in looking at the list of threads in a forum. After an hour or two the problem went away.
