"Could not query config information"

[DaJe]

My forums keep popping up with the following error. It goes away after a minute, but then it comes back.



phpBB : Critical Error

Could not query config information

DEBUG MODE

SQL Error : 1226 User 'mrmoo' has exceeded the 'max_questions' resource (current value: 72000)

SELECT * FROM new_ciconfig

That's one busy forum!

Have you checked to see that you're not being auto-spammed?

If it's legit, you can always check the forums for the multi-user mod. Add two more users to your database using Member Ops. Then you have to modify the config script to use the three users randomly. There's a post in PHP I think - check the FAQ first or you can search the forum.

It will give you more than 200,000 questions per hour.

Ah, then it's probably from me installing this A.I. on my forums. I'm installing files for more intelligence, and I guess it's giving a beating to it all.

I really couldn't find the multi-user mod.

My mistake - it was actually right here in the MySQL Forum.

Thanks, I did that and so far no problems, but I still need to check a few things.

I'm not sure if it's working. Sometimes I get the error, but rarely, and it's always with the same mysql user, it never says the error was under one of the other names.

Post your code and we'll check it.
