Magento Site only works when ctrl + f5 is used - magento

A Magento website is down in IE and in Firefox. Magento provides the following message: "There has been an error processing your request. Exception printing is disabled by default for security reasons."
However using Ctrl+F5 makes the site work.
The site works in Chrome and in Opera.
It also works if any page is requested other than the home page.
The error in the magento file in var/report lists:
a:4:{i:0;s:108:"SQLSTATE[HY000] [1203] User XXXXXXX already has more than 'max_user_connections' active
However it still works in chrome.

You have a problem with your database; Basically your database is hitting the limit for the amount of connections for that user. Check what your max_user_connections setting is at and increase it.
Be careful, as the higher that number, the more resources it will use. You have to find an even balance.

It was not a problem with Magento or the database. The web host was incorrectly caching the site. We found out when a file I uploaded still appeared in cPanel yet the file had been deleted several minutes before.
The web host flushed their cache of the site. The website immediately loaded without any error.

Too many redirects: Clearing cookies doesn't work

I have a machine where Magento is deployed. The admin page redirected to itself so many times and now I am unable to get the admin page. I get the too many redirects error. I have already tried clearing the cookies, also made some changes in the magento configuration.
I have tried accessing the admin page from other machines, but it works fine. The problem is only on one particular machine. What possibilities could be tried to resolve the issue? There are no troubles with other sites.
It's probably not even the problem with one machine, but with chrome on this machine. Try incognito mode - if works there try https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chrome/YzvpLaOmVrY (if it doesn't - check if any of your extensions is allowed to work in incognito mode)

Invalid token after upgrading Joomla to 3.5

After upgrading my site to J3.5, users can't login anymore.
They get the "invalid token" error.
I tried myself around 30 times and I also get the error, although I can login to the admin area.
I cleared Joomla cache, browser cache and truncated the #__session table.
But the problem persists.
This is critical! Users are paying to access certain areas of my site.
WHat more do I have to do to enable user login again????
This is not a core issue (our sites upgraded flawlessly) so should be an extension: read the apache error log and find out which is the offending one, rename its folder (i.e. plugins/system/yourstrangeplugin) and the frontend should load again. then go to the backend, disable the plugin, at that point you can restore its folder original name and update it.
in general, the developer will have issued an update by tomorrow if there are incompatibilities she'll know already.

magento 1.6.2.0 keeps logging out

I am using magento 1.6.2.0 and it keeps returning to to login screen every time I try to do an activity.
Things I have done:
My php.ini memory limits are set at 512Mb and my times set at 18000
checked the server time, php.ini time, and magento config time
Cleard the cache from magento. no joy
Cleared the cache and session from my plesk panel, no joy
Cleaned firefox and chrome history and page cache, not joy
reinstalled Mage_Core_Adminhtml, Mage_Core_Modules, Lib_Js_Mage, no joy
I reinstalled mage JS, no joy
The only changes recently have been the magento php 5.4 patch and had to reinstall Mage_GoogleShopping becase the new one would never complete loading the page.
Every time I try to change to something in the admin menu I have to log back in.
I checked the adminnotification_inbox in the database and it was reset to zero.
I get no errors in firebug, firefox or chrome and my cookies are working although it says .nilandspalce.com.
reinstalled magento.
It is like magento keeps resetting itself as my admin notifications keep coming back after delete
I have no error reports or folder.
I have run out of ideas?
I've came across this issue before... Give this a try...
system->configuration->admin -> select security tab and check session lifetime field
This is where you can define your time...
Also, if you use some .php extensions, some of their session encrypts can cause problems...
For Ex: sjusin.session.encrypt = On (This would need to be turned to Off in some cases)
This you can find in the config file by the way
Also if this doesn't help you check this out about quota.

"The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading" error on Joomla website

I am experiencing a strange issue on a Joomla 2.5.4 site: http://tinyurl.com/k8xuxth
One of our employees made a few front-end edits to two or three pages and now some of the pages randomly redirect to an error message:
The connection was reset
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
It does not happen all the time, and it never happens on the home page. If you click on the "Class Schedule" or "About" links in the nav, it should throw the error message for you. In Chrome, it appears to just freeze up completely. Sometimes, in FireFox, you can see the page begin to load before it redirects to the above error message.
I can't seem to find any errors in any logs. It was a Joomla 1.7 site, but yesterday I upgraded it to the 2.5.4 and also installed K2 and converted all of the Articles to K2 "Items"... neither of these fixed the issue. I am stumped! Any feedback/help/direction would be greatly appreciated.
Other things I tried:
Disabling all modules.
Disabling select plugins (such as Google Analytics).
Upgrading select plugins and modules.
Thanks!

Magento Backend Catalog page keeps refreshing

I have a magento install on a staging environment, everything is working except the catalog backend page and the frontend layered navigation. Look at the image below. There is a backend within the backend. When visiting the page it refreshes to infinity. See this identical problem
My first guess is there is a bug in the template file but an identical template file on my local machine does not cause any issues. Additionally the database between my local and staging site are identical minus the core_config_url. The only difference is local I am running Apache and on staging I am running nginx.
The second issue which I imagine is related is that the filters on the frontend catalog page dont work. They are visible but clicking on them reloads the page without changing the products.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
UPDATE: After switching from NGINX to Apache the issue disappeared. I still would like to figure out what is causing the problem
I take for granted that you had already tried different browsers/clearing your browser cache and Magento cache (empty the cache directory), etc.
Are you sure you put the correct value in the cookie_domain setting? Many users that had your same problem seem to have setted up an incorrect value in that setting.
Take a look here and let me know.
I have found that usually this is caused by a server-side error on the ajax request. If there is any kind of error response returned, it will just continue to spin. Either check your Chrome console for a 500 response, or look in your server's error logs.
