localhost and mac os x

[pmfuser]

Hi,

I just tried to access my FAQ page, first time from Macbook Pro (OS X), and got an error:

The connection to the database server could not be established.

The error message of the database server:
2002: No such file or directory

First search took me here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4219 ... connect-vi

and after replacing localhost with the IP address 127.0.0.1 in the database.php file, I was able to get the admin login page, but the FAQ page would return this:

The connection to the database server could not be established.

The error message of the database server:
1040: Too many connections

Now it seems to work.

My question, before I do anything else:
Was there any prior similar case that would have such Mac related cause, or I should consider this coincidence (there could simply be some intermittent trouble with the database, for example)?

Thanks

Thanks. I just put it back to "localhost" and things are as expected. So, as it stands now, it must be some kind of coincidence.
