Greetings,

I'm occasionally seeing this error message at my site;

QuoteConnection Problems

Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later.
Any clues as to what the problem may be?

Thanks in advance.

Apparently, its database issue.
Have you checked all the database settings to see if they are correct ?

don't make too many changes and give it some time.

Often this is an problem with the server.
Please, don't PM me for support unless invited.
If you don't understand this, you will be blacklisted.

If it is random, it is time to contact your host about it. If it is a free host, it is quite obvious because their servers are always overloaded. If it is paid, it is time to change the host. :)

Maybe is something wrong with settings.php. Try to repair it using repair_settings.php.

It can't be the case if it is occasional.

I've got the same problem. It's been like this for the last few days. I tried the repair_settings.php file but no luck... All suggested settings were correct. Also repaired and optimized the tables in Php myadmin. Any help would be appreciated.

Contact your host and next time please open a separate topic for your issue. :)
