Could not connect: Too many connections

[pjohn]

Hi there!

I've found some threads about the could not connect thing, but there is always a user after that, but i got too many connections message. Can it be because of not enough bandwidth on my dedicated server? (its unmetered, but capped at mbps)

Thanks!

Some servers cap you at how many connections you can have at one time. My server only tracks the load on the server and not the total number of connections.

Mysql defaults at 100 connections to increase it go into your /etc directory and edit the file my.cnf there will be a mysql max connection value in it and increase it to a value greater than 100 I use 300 in mine because my server only has 1 gig of memory. If you have two or more gigs you can increase it to 500.

Yeah it were increased to 500 connections, however the last upgrade to 2.6 (vshare) helped because it now closes all connections or what so there is no more problem with that anymore :)

Thanks anyway for the reply :)
