That means you've exceeded the connections per hour limit. It'll reset within an hour.

[jschleifer]

wow.. how'd I exceed that? there were ony like 7 people on the forum at that time..

[jschleifer]

ahh.. I think I see.

there was a robot crawling the site. it went through every link possible.. which probably caused mysql to serve it too much stuff.

so plop, it exceeded max connections.

note to self.. don't request a report from alexa.com

Use a robots.txt file ... it will keep "most" robots/spiders at bay.

I'll do that.. too bad I didn't know 'bout it before.

I'll put one om my site too. I'm confused though, do you put it in htdocs or your root directory? It shows http://www.mydomain.com/robots.txt but if I put it in the root directory, I cannot get to it from the internet right?
