I think with the releases of RC3 and ultimately 3.0 Final, the forums may be a little more busy than usual.

I've gotten that error a couple of times now since the last time things were looked at.

Apache really should be configured to deliver a "site too busy" kind of page before all the MySQL connections are busied out...

There must be something wrong with the DB server itself.

MySQL is configurable to accept a maximum number of connections... When you reach that number and another connection attempt is made, it fails.

If Apache is configured with 300 max child processes, then 400 connections or more for MySQL are needed.
