    That sounds like a different error than the posts in this thread. The sole error I get that this thread references is ‘500 Internal Server Error’. Regardless, have you tried unpublishing the ‘culprit’ post by changing it to Draft? Tried to remove tags for the article?

    I read in another of your postings you use GoDaddy. I have GoDaddy too, although I haven’t had the 500 Error problem occur now for several weeks. I’m running WordPress 2.1.2.

    My PHP version is actually older than all you mentioned, 4.3.11.

    I have this problem too with Godaddy hosting. The MySql server is getting down 90% of the time and when I ask godaddy to fix the problem they reply with this “Try to optimize your code” because it seems that there are database connections that are not being closed which causing the server to get overloaded.

    I tried to find about closing database connections in wordpress, and it seems that wordpress doesn’t explicitly close database connections and relies on the PHP server to close them when the script ends.
    I have other pages that I have written myself outside wordpress where I use mysql_close() to close the database connection. I was convinced that my own scripts were not the problem since I was not leaving any database connection opened, but if the PHP server also closes the connection that wordpress opens why do I still getting this message

    Unable to connect to database : Too many connections

    I have found in different posts that Godaddy sucks, I believe it is, but I’m not willing to change a host at the moment since I just bought a one year dedicated server with them and too bad the business is not working fine. I just want to fix the problem with Godaddy to finish the year with minimum losses.

    I know there are plenty of people out there with similar problem with Godaddy, I appreciate if anyone could give me a clue how to solve this problem beside having to switch the host. Thanks

    I to had this problem. I am using GoDaddy as my host and I finally tracked down to the problem to WP-Cache. I have the problem fixed now and WordPress is working happily with WP-Cache and I even have it working with GZIP. If you would like to see how I fixed it then check out my blog. I also have a download link to to a modified WP-Cache that works with GoDaddy.
