[PHP-DB] To many connections error

[Merlin]

Hello everybody,

I am running a community portal with LAMP . So far everything was running
fine. This night the site went down for a few hours. The error message from
mysql was to many connections. Is there a way to increase the number of
allowed connections, or do I have a hardware problem here (celleron 1GHZ 256
MB ram)? The traffic for the site is rising constantly and I fear to get in
trouble.

Thanx for your help.

Merlin

[PHP-DB] Too many Connections error

[Micah Stevens]

Hi,

I'm using PHP to connect to a MySQL server, and occasionally I get the 
following error:

Warning: Too many connections in 
/usr/sites/www/gamewardens_forum/forumadmin.php on line 243
Unable to connect to Database Server


I'm using a persistant connection with the function mysql_pconnect, But the 
documentation says that if a connection already exists, a new one will not 
be created. So multiple calls shouldn't be a problem, right?

Any thoughts on this?

THANKS!
