I'm trying to sort out a database error I'm getting. I received about a hundred mails complaining of a forum database error beginning exactly when I left work today. :(

Test again. still getting errors
Ugg, that's doesn't sound fun.
Now it has stopped as mysteriously as it started. No idea why, but the forum seemed to be mostly working while this was happening -- I only got one "could not connect to the database" error in my web browser when I tried to log in the first time.

Turns out that the problem is due to mysql exceeding its limit for the maximum number of open files on OS X (which seems to be 1024, and is not configurable). I am in the process of tweaking the mysql settings to stay below this limit.
The problem was exacerbated by a script which I use to maintain hourly backups of the forum database.

I think the problem is solved. See my post here (https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=558754.0) if you are interested in the details.

Here's hoping it's fixed for good.
