Too many connections error

[Anon]

i am getting the following error when i am connecting to the mysql database in my code

Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Too many connections in db_conn.inc.php3 on line 7

Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) in db_conn.inc.php3 on line 8

db_conn.inc.php3 is my include file in which i have written the database connection code
i.e mysql_connect() method.

There are not much users connected to the site because the site is currently under development, and very little of the work is completed yet

can anyone help me out
mysql version i am using is 3.x

Is this your very own dedicated mysql server or is it a shared mysql server? Most virtual server hosts give you a shared server so regardless of the number of connections you have someone else might be hogging them all. If this is the case have a chat with your web host as they need to investigate to check for unsociable sites onthe server or rebalance users across more servers.
