Not to sound too picky or a pain in the butt, whoever is designing http://dev.sparemint.org/ should make sure that php is used as sparingly as possible. Same goes to mysql connection. The more you use static, the better. (unless your page needs dynamic content). But for a simple welcome page, you might want to redesign it to access better load, So errors like Warning: mysql_pconnect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) in /var/www/dev.sparemint.org/connect.php on line 8
Access to the sparemint database was denied... Sorry.. Please inform the webmaster
would not occur.
