I am running 2.6.4. I may be causing my own trouble by pruning topics after they are 60 days old or thereabouts, but I am finding that my error log grows to a very large file, and eventually is not accessible via the error log viewer. I have chased down several of the IP numbers, and, apparently, most of the errors are coming from crawler/spider efforts from the big search engines. I tried excluding the forum directories in the robots.txt file, but it doesn't seem to help (in the sense that the errors keep on coming). Is there something I don't know about that can help reduce these errors? Would rebuilding the search index help? I have been put off from doing that by the warning that it leads off with.

You can ignore those, if you upgrade to 2.7.4 it has a more robust error viewer, that should be a lot faster.

Thanks. I am restricted to 8 megs of memory, and since the upgrade scripts require more memory I have thus far have been unable to upgrade because of this limitation, but this gives me another incentive to look into changing. The SQL errors are, of course, a little different (and less abundant). Here are two such messages:

These errors are the result of PHP being unable to connect to MySQL, usually due to excessive number of MySQL connection already being open. Subsequently the MySQL server refuses to accept any new connections.
