phpBB : Critical Error

Could not connect to the database



 :?:  :?:  :?:

Mine keeps doing that.

 I think it's because there's an error of a critical kind, and it can't connect to the database

Does it lots now and then. Doing my head in.

[Johno]

[Whits]

taken me 20 mins to get on, as spacey said, think its pointing to a possible problem with the database.    :twisted:

Bugger, works fine for me, I wonder if were reaching some sort of critical mass.

Might be that the server isn't letting the webpages access the database - which could mean the site is skirting its download limit.  How much bandwidth does the webspace have?

We're on a pro-package and don't come close to the limit each month.

That said they are twiddling with the servers at the moment, which may explain it.

Ahhhhhhhhh ... that'll be what it is then.
