Error 2 and 23

[caunton]

A couple of my users are reporting receiving these errors on attempting to add topics to my forums. I have no idea what either of these errors mean and have been unable to replicate the conditions which are causing these errors. Could it be that the server is inundated with requests...?

Any help on these error messages and how to overcome them appreciated.

Thanks

I'm assuming these error numbers are generated from mysql - error 2 = No such file or directory and error 23 = Too many open files in system.

You can check errors using the app "perror" which is installed with mysql.

Assuming (twice in one post? tsk) that these are mysql errors, error 2 (depending on OS) might just be a further adaption of error 23.

Error 23 is very important, it means you've run out of file descriptors, you should seek advice on how to resolve this very quickly.
