To many connections

[stormlifter]

Coppermine critical error:
Unable to connect to database !

MySQL said: User ******* has already more than 'max_user_connections' active connections
-----------------

This happens to me from time to time... I just have to wait it out... is there a way to help this out?

Ask your host to increase the number of active connections.

[stormlifter]

wait, but why should it need that? It should only need one!
Hrm... Anyone else? I think it should only need one, it must not be logging off correctly.

Are you on a dedicated server or shared? Do you only get one visitor to the gallery at a time?

[stormlifter]

shared, and I was just by myself in the administration area.

so your gallery is not public, there can be no other user connected to your site at the same time?
