i get this error a lot:
Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later.
my forum:

do i need any optimizations in mysql?
See a lot of these when the host has problems, the forum always turned out to be fine after the host sorted out what was causing the mess.
btw, your forum loads (so it's all there) but very slow, some timing out.
its dedicated server, which i manage.
i dont think it has problem , since i have normal access at ssl, cpanel,whm..
Something I've noticed when this happens but all looks well in the cpanel - are your CPU loads abnormally high?

Something must be wrong with the server. I did a traceroute on the site and its timing out bad.

I noticed this problem too today on my forum, "database error" and I was not even able to log into my forum as an admin, but I had access to my cpanel, I checked on the error log and noticed that the problem actually started late hours yesterday. What can be done please. This is my forum, allstudentforum.com
your forum loads fine here, are you still having issues?
its ok now, though i contacted my host, and reported the issue to them. because this was not the first time this has occured
