ERRMSG: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to obtaining a connection from the pool. This may have occurred because all pooled connections were in use and max pool size was reached.

Web site error Message:
Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to obtaining a connection from the pool. This may have occurred because all pooled connections were in use and max pool size was reached.

This error is usually caused by SQL connections not being properly closed in code. This causes the connections to remain open on the SQL server and will prevent you from opening new ones when the SQL server connection pool max size has been reached.
To correct this error, please review your web site code and ensure that for each open connection there is a matching closing statement.
