Ok, only now I understand that you are using DBUtils with web.py. You did not mention it in the beginning. I haven't tried out web.py yet, but it seems the default configuration is unlimited pool size. You should change that and set mincached and maxmached parameters, probably in the web.config.db_parameters (you may have to ask about web.py specifics on their google group). Anyway, normally you should not hit that limit unless you are really handling so much concurrent users, since the pool only grows if connections are not given back to it. So the real problem may be that you are not returning your used connections back to the pool. You do that by simply calling the close method of your connection immediately after usage (see http://www.w4py.org/DBUtils/Docs/UsersGuide.html#id2). Also, (if possible) avoid opening database connections for anonymous users, and use the database only once they logged in, in order to limit the number of concurrent database connections. -- Christoph ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
