Ye' old general discussion board. Basically, for everything that isn't covered elsewhere. Come here to shoot the breeze, shoot your mouth off, or whatever suits your fancy. This forum is not for asking programming related questions.
My IP keeps getting blocked from accessing my host's server due to "over 50 active connections on one port". Does anybody have any suggestions as to what could be causing this?
that "limit" is a setting in MySQL. It is not a problem for MySQL per se, it may be more of a problem for that server. If shared, you share the connection pool with other users on that server. At times, you could very easily run out of connections available with that low of a setting. If the host won't pop the number up to say 100 or more, you may want to consider moving to a different host or upgrading your service.
