I keep getting...

Post by Lynn » Thu Mar 30, 2006 6:16 pm

I had this yesterday-night, and today I had this too a lot. When I try to click on a link on BUS, like someone's place, then I get a blank page with this message:

phpBB : Critical Error

Could not connect to the database


I don't always get it, so it's not that bad. But is anybody else having this? Or has there been a topic about this already?

I know. It's sort of sorted now, thanks to Mark who owns the server.

If you notice more weirdnesses, do let us know.

I was getting this message nearly all night (5 - 6 hours) tonight:

phpBB : Critical Error

Could not connect to the database




Is there anything I can do about it when it happens, or do I just have to be patient and wait til something (whaterever the something is) sorts itself out?
