Common MySQL Issues and Errors


Too many connections

This is an issue with your MySQL setup and the number of concurrent connections it allows. This must be changed in the MySQL configuration files, so if you are using a hosting provider, please contact them. If you are using a VPS/Dedicated Server, see the my.conf file.


Communications link failure or Connection refused (Connection refused) or Connection is not available, request timed out

This is a general error that is experienced when the database is not reachable and is an issue with your database. First of all, make sure that you have input the correct values into the settings.yml file. If you are using a host, try to contact them or make sure their MySQL services are online. If you are sure you have the right values and are using a VPS/Dedicated Server, make sure that the database is accessible from the IP address of the server.
