When trying to get through the setup/config I am receiving the error 1040 too many connections. I have read the info on the subject but it does not tell me how to fix this error. Mediawiki version: 1.19 wmf1 PHP: 5.3.2-2wm1 Mysql: 5.1.5 3-wm-log

my site is: ljk55.com Database host: mysql.ljk55.com

Please help as I have been at this for hours . . .

Thanks

Yeah, your MySQL host's limit of the # of connections has been exceeded; MediaWiki has little to do with that besides the fact that it's designed for large sites with copious MySQL capacity.

OK, so what do I do? How do I fix the problem? I am new to this and greatly appreciate any assistance whatsoever . . .

Check the documentation for your MySQL version; make sure the database user you assigned to make the install and the one for web access don't have connection limits. PhpMyAdmin would greatly help you here.
