It looks like a problem with your script talking to the database on the server. You haven't provided much information though, what kind of template are you using? What does it do? Where are you running it?

can you post the 3,294th line of the file conn.inc please?

Looks like a communication error, wouldn;t have thought login though.

as above, we need more info!

This is the key phrase - I would bet money on it that you are creating recordsets and connections in your script and not destroying them when finished with so the SQL Server is being overloaded with requests and eventually timing out.


EDIT - Just seen that you are getting this message when viewing another website, this is a problem there end then and nothing you can do about it, other than perhaps letting them know and waiting for them to fix it.
