Great suggestions but that doesn't seem to the be problem.. I restarted mysql earlier today, and continued to have problems afterward. And I just checked max_used_Conns and it is 7, and my actual limit is 100. Any other ideas? -David -Original Message- From: Roman Volf

Yes, max connections are set to 100, and it reported the max ever used was 9.. (since I restarted it early this morning).. but ive had problems since then so that leads me to believe connections isn't the problem. -David -Original Message- From: Roman Volf [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
