I am trying to increase the variable for max_connections for MySQL on my RAQ 4. It is set at 100 which I believe is the default value however I am getting connection refused messages for my clients. I have looked high and low for the answer and have found none. Could someone please help me?
I might be really wrong here, but I had the same problem a couple of weeks ago.
My problem turned out to be (I think) that I had the settings in Apache set wrong. Something to do with the persistent connections in MySQL being kept alive as long as the httpd child they are attached to is alive.
Again, I might be wrong, please don't shoot me. When I modified my Apache according to apache.org and setup MySQL with one of the default config files it comes with, the problem went away.
Hope this helps. -- James Riordon SysAdmin http://www.amigo-3.com
