a problem, should be very happy for some help...

Hi! I really enjoy the site php.net, that's the absolutely best reference site I ever seen... I have a problem with my site and maybe you can help me, give me an advice how to solve it... It's a community with about 50 000 members... earlier it was written in ASP / MS SQL Server and now it's in PHP / MySQL... when it is over about 60 persons online I get this error when trying open the DB with: mysql_connect($host, $userid, $pass): Warning: Can't create TCP/IP socket (55) in /usr/home/...inc.php on line 12 Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Can't create TCP/IP socket (55) in /usr/home/...inc.php on line 12 The webserver and the DB server is separated from each other... The operative system is FreeBSD. Apache/1.3.19 (Unix) FrontPage/4.0.4.3 PHP/4.0.6 mysql: server version: 3.23.36 The page is on a webhost and the best thing is if I can solve it without consulting the web hotel.. Best regards Anton
