error with coppermine

[motoxnuthouse]

Hi
I hope someone can help!
Last night I upgraded to coppermine 1.4.2 but I now seem to be having problems in certain admin modes and have an error displayed (There was an error while processing a database query) I have looked through the coppermine support forums and cant really find an answer apart from using version 3 of mysql. Can anybody help me as I am at a total loss?

what error message are you getting?, lets see the link.

Ok I cant post you the link because I cannot access the gallery at all now I am recieving this error message

Coppermine critical error:
Unable to connect to database !

MySQL said: Too many connections

same goes for phpbb error message

phpBB : Critical Error

Could not connect to the database

What is happening? I upgraded both through fantastico early this morning but both were working earlier just with the earlier error message when using certain admin functions on coppermine.
