Default Re: Server Busy

No, I've been running websites for the past 8 years. When the server is too busy, on a forum script like this one, it doesn't have anything to do with the bandwidth... otherwise the forum itself would not load and you'd get a cogent message saying Bandwidth Limit Exceeded.

However, seeing this message it means that there are too many connections to mySQL happening at once, and the script cannot handle the parse load.

.... MEANING... lol.......... when you see that message.... usually too many people are trying to post a topic all at once. It doesn't necessarily mean too many people on the forum. But usually too many people calling the script to parse an action, it will say it is too busy.

The forum will be able to handle many connections to the forum, but when many people ALL AT ONCE try to post a topic or parse the php script, it becomes busy. I hope that's easy to understand.
