Keeps doing this quite a bit too - a lot this evening - one learns to be patient

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: User nineeleven already has more than 'max_user_connections' active connections in /hermes/web06/b1809/pow.ianneal911zq1/htdocs/board/db/mysql4.php on line 48
phpBB : Critical Error

Could not connect to the database

If you notice in the middle of that lt somewhere it says "maximum user connections" so we are, it appears, becoming a victim of our own success. Please site admins let's have some action.

Bizzarely Ian Neal also appears buried deep in these error reports.
I demand an explanation

I think if I remember rightly from my geekiness studies this error is caused by the server maxing out on the number of SQL connections you can are allowed to have.

Your host has obviously put a limit on the connections you can have.

It may be worth a try checking the PHP.ini or sql.ini file or conif files to see if you can increase the allowed connections, though I doubt you have access to them.....

The best bet is to ask your host to increase the number of connections you are allowed to have....

I have got that message this evening when the forum has been open on a different tab clearly stating there are a whopping 10 people browsing the forum.

So I think not, too.

I've been hitting up to twenty refreshes and waiting 15 minutes to get a page.
Never seen that error (above) as much as tonight. Is this some kind of DOS attack? Any technically minded or admins out there?

If the site is slow give up for a while and watch this instead

elohim · Post by **elohim** » Wed Aug 22, 2007 11:51 pm

As I mentioned earlier.....

What does "User has already more than 'max_user_connections' active connections" mean?

We restrict the number of MySQL connections for each account to 38 simultaneous connections.
Once this limit is exceeded, any new connection is impossible, and the error message quoted
will report this status. This limit for connections makes it possible to ensure that a site can't overload the MySQL server at the cost of the other sites hosted on the server. Once the number of connections
has dropped below the limit of 38 connections, new connections will be possible again.

This is limit is rarely reached by a site in normal use. If it is exceeded, the cause is often related to one or more locked tables due to a change in structure, a repair or updating of indices carried out with the same account or effecting the same table. So it is advisable to temporarily stop use of
PHP or CGI scripts, for as long as a table that is often visited on your site is being worked on.

A table that consists of many elements and that has never been purged might be the reason for the lock.
Overfrequentation of a PHP script which makes long requests that are not optimised may also lead to accumulation of a large number of simultaneous users as related to response time and the number of requests.
In this case it will be necessary to add indices to the tables used by the request to optimise performance.

From http://hosting.infomaniak.ch/support/fa ... ge=english

More info on this can be found on SQL Dev

It is not neccessarialy the amount of users, but rather a restriction on connections to the sql server for the following:

The number of queries that an account can issue per hour

The number of updates that an account can issue per hour

The number of times an account can connect to the server per hour

These can be restricted by your host to prevent an overload of the Mysql server at the expense of other sites.

Your host should be able to check all of this out for ya in a jiffy....

If it helps, the message I got when trying to (unsuccessfully) connect said something like maximum number of connections exceeded, & also 'internal server error'--plus lots of other stuff. Perhaps when people get error messages like these they could copy & paste them for reference? Does your server have a maximum number of connections allowed? Or is there some kind of artificial funnel restriction being externally imposed? Indeed, is the 'False Flag Messiah' Shayler using transcendental thought patterns to cause trouble for apostates?

No more than 35 truthers at any one time?
Preposterous so it is!

Will the appropriate admin please sort it with powweb asap please.

marky 54 · Post by **marky 54** » Thu Aug 23, 2007 1:28 am

its not really making sense.

most online 174, 10th of august 2007 (todays date 23 august 2007= 13 days ago).

are people sure there is a limit on how many can be online at any one time?

there are certainly problems though i keep getting the messages aswell as 'internal error'. also really long loading times and sometimes pages just will not load at all so have to try again later.

Eight browser windows open all 'waiting for nineeleven.co.uk' trying to connect, hanging for several minutes, connection drops and I have to hit refresh twenty times before it's hanging again.

Had enough thanks and apologies if PMs didn't make it for (possibly) moving two of the news threads to general.

How about those who feel strongly write in and telephone the broadsheets requesting an obituary for Aaron Russo?

10 minutes ago I got this* when I tried to access the main page.

Come on, what's happening here? 911 Blogger gets far more visitors than this site, yet it responds very quickly indeed.

Can't we move to another server or something. This really has got to be some kind of deliberate interference. Can't we find anyone with the technical expertise to tell us how to negate this problem or at least understand what is being done to this site?

This is getting to the point of unusable. Its been happening since I joined months ago, Occasionally it will be reasonable, the next you just cannot connect. I'm losing posts, answering posts is becoming impossible. I'm about to change URL's to another site on ad material because I dare not send anyone to this one. It makes us look incompetent before we start.

Whatever this issue is it MUST be sorted. If its a money/server thing then say so and lets organsie something.

This can't continue and us expect to be taken seriously. Its just taken me an hour to find this thread and I'm not exagerating.

Cruise4 · Post by **Cruise4** » Tue Aug 28, 2007 4:04 pm

Could this be down to ISP using Invisible proxy's so the server see's multiple same IP adresses? A look in the weblogs would say whether an ISP in particular is causing the issue. How about a poll on who's using what ISP.

I've had enough of trying to moderate here for the time being
Spending half an hour trying to move or edit one post is too much for me
See you in three weeks or so when hopefilly somebody has got their finger out and sorted this.
There has also been a spat of posts attacking mods (aganst the site rules so they should be banned) and it's been impossible to take action because of the slimy slug phenomenon.

This could well be a coordinated attack to disable this site for another nuclear style 911 and I am rather disappointed to see

1. Inaction by admins on the site's speed and robustness
2. Attacks on mods from so called truthers being ignored by other mods/admins
3. No management structure/decision making process for this site
4. Andrew Johnson, a no-planer and ADMIN of this site, lobbying for the removal of John White and myself by telephone behind the scenes.
5. No serious understanding of what we're dealing with - ie this

Who exposes through leaked papers that the likes of Halliburton will employ hoardes of well paid professional people to shill on forums such as ours.
6. None of the above will go away if we pursue a course of inaction and if there are no meetings of admins/mods

See you again in mid September.
Good luck with the wolves folks.

why would anyone conspire to slow this forum down or attack it?

the regular members do enough of that themselves with all the stuff posted here... anyone who reads this forum will come away at the very least not taking anything they see here seriously and therefore i cannot see how anyone would see this site as a threat or a target

why do you think the clever people at the heart of the campaign de-linked this forum - its baggage of the worst sort. A dead dog floating around in cyberspace that has achieved nothing except to serve as a forum to divide and conquer its own members

accept it or not, this forum resembles a near perfect stereotypical raving loony conspiratorial site gone wild in a bad way in certain sections, especially 9/11 controversies and the demeanour of many posters here is below childlike level.

I only visit here now and then to see if this place has gotten into shape ans because i value the effort some of the staff here do - which is unfortunately for them time wasted

iro · Post by **iro** » Sat Sep 01, 2007 2:16 am

let me add that i in no way denounce the wild theories of 9/11 - i can entertain any possibilities and have an oen mind - bnut the attitude of those promoting such theories that i have seen here and on other boards is an utter disgrace.

A bunch of retards

and i except Andrew Johnson from that, i have read a lot of his articles and respect his work as at least he can articulate himself and act like an adult. The exotic 9/11ers could learn a lot from andrew's disposition

Rowan Berkeley · Post by **Rowan Berkeley** » Sat Sep 01, 2007 1:14 pm

you were lucky.

another thing that strikes me is that getting the DNS server sometimes seems to be the most time consuming thing. If the site had a numeric IP which we could use to bookmark it (this would not be instead of but as well as its NAME, www.nineeleven.uk) we would save the time wasted thus.

Dr Doom · Post by **Dr Doom** » Sat Sep 01, 2007 10:18 pm

I'm still having a problem with the site.

I would hazard a guess that it is something misconfigured on the database and/or script.

Like having persistent connections enabled can sometimes cause that. As the mysql connections don't get dropped as the page requests end.

rodin · Post by **rodin** » Sun Sep 02, 2007 7:23 am

Spoke too soon. Got locked out last night. Are the site managers on this problem? Or perhaps not bothered? After all, there is no revenue raised from the site. Is it a philanthropic gesture? Or does it serve another purpose?
