Error: 1040 - Too many connections

Hey, I am wondering what this means:

 

Error: 1040 - Too many connections 

I am getting it from time to time, not a lot but its to the point now where I am curious on why im getting it. It is almost always the same IP that is being given when the error has caused the sql error log, so can someone please tell me what it is and how or if not to care about it and fix it somehow? 

 

Thanks

To clarify, that is not a script-level error. It means that your site is utilizing the maximum number of MySQL connections that you are allowed to use. You'll need to adjust the max_connections value in my.cnf.

I will try out both ways, thanks guys.

 

Just to ask though, where do I find the my.cnf ?

If you're on shared hosting, you won't be able to and your hosting provider needs to.
