Common Causes of Database Connection Errors

Understanding the root cause of a database connection issue is key to fixing it. Common reasons include:

  • Incorrect database credentials
    Usernames, passwords, or database names are often mistyped or outdated.

  • Database server not reachable
    The database server may be offline, blocked by a firewall, or misconfigured.

  • Network latency or timeout
    Poor connectivity can cause delays or dropped connections.

  • Port misconfiguration
    The database service might be running on a non-default or blocked port.

  • Driver or software incompatibility
    Outdated or unsupported database drivers can lead to failed connections.

  • Max connections reached
    Databases have limits on how many simultaneous users can connect.
