   Hit mysql.com and check section 4.9 of the manual, which discusses the
various logs you may have in your mysql/ directory.

   Er...don't you want to REDUCE the maximum number of connections, so your
server doesn't crash? (If it crashes at max_connections's current settings,
how will _increasing_ it do you any good? Sounds to me like you want to slow
down this runaway script, not help it smash things...)

   Again, see mysql.com in the Documentation section, the Manual, and search
for max_connections.
