Hi , I have recently moved my site to a dedicated server because of the tons of peopla who are online at the same time. It was ok when they were up to 400-450 ppl on the chatango chat on the page but recently I am receiving the following error alot even when they are not many ppl online ( 280 ). Database connection error while trying to access the admin area or sometimes while trying to view a post on Wordpress. Any help ? The database info are correct in the wp-config... Any idea ? Thanks
Hi! What's the exact error? Maybe the MySQL concurrent connections is set too low. I'd love to help, but I need a bit more information.
Hi , Thanks for trying to help me out. I think it was "Error establishing a database connection" or something like that. I need to wait untill there is alot of ppl on the site to be more precise. Please contact me on the pm and I will provide u with the info u want. Thanks again
I had a similar problem with few of my sites. The problem was that the servers were not good enough for my sites. I have changed my host and no longer have any "database connection" problems. I am surprised that you are having such problems with a dedicated server.
I am using Hostgator dedicated server ( basic ). I was wondering if it maybe a memory issue or something like that.
HG basic dedicated server is old and has 1GB RAM only. I am not sure how about your script, but 400 concurrent connections require much bigger servers. Have you tried to optimize your apache, php and mysql yet?
