Too many database connections?

**kuzzuk** · 08-23-2007, 07:37 PM

I have just started a recipe sharing site using Pligg 9.7 and it has been relatively easy for someone's who is not technical like myself. I read the forum as well as the documentation and installation was smooth. However, recently I have been experiencing a lot of database connections problems like too many open connections. I had 2 specific queries.

1. Are there reports of too many database connections? Is this a known issue?

2. It may sound a bit silly but how do I turn off errors in pligg?

Thanks in advance.

I think the problem occurs in Warning: mysql_query() [function.mysql-query]: Too many connections in /libs/dbtree.php on line 330

Any fixes?

One solution is

MySQL AB :: MySQL 5.0 Reference Manual :: B.1.2.6 Too many connections

The number of connections allowed is controlled by the max_connections system variable. Its default value is 100. If you need to support more connections, you should restart mysqld with a larger value for this variable.

increase the value of max_connections
