Re: FN-FORUM: mySQL error: Too many connections

It could also be caused by a rogue script crashing before closing
connections (sometimes hard to notice). You can often fix these by
switching to persistent DB connections or watching your recursion
within scripts that query the database.

DoS would be very obvious from webserver logs (which would have jumped
in size hugely)
