Is it due to the server or did i made a mistake? can anyone help me with this? thanks in advance !

This looks like the same issue that was answered in an earlier post today. Use the search fuction

MySQL to many connections

If this is the same issue I'll close the tread, I'm not a sql programmer so I'm not closing it now.

It's pretty much the same, except this is phpBB and that is IPB.

That also happens to me. I am using www freesql.org service. I dont know why if it is happening.

Often this error occurs when a person keeps constantly clicking on links which require MySQL queries on Database interfaces, this has been combated quite alot in recent forum editions with sort of flood parameters, so not to worry, this is just a temporary error which occurs occasionaly, it is often combated by server admin restarting the sql service.All you need to do is be patient at times like these, will eventually resolve itself.
