PHP/mySQL - Too many connections

**mladen** · 15th July 2004

What could be causing this error?

"Warning: Too many connections in /home/httpd/vhosts/host/httpdocs/component/connect.php on line 9
Too many connections"

First time its done that

There are too many connections to the mysql server, are you on a shared server ? are you closing the connections to the server when you have finished your queries ?

You might find it better to use mysql_pconnect rather than mysql_connect if you are not using it already. This should reuse existing connections if they are not been used.

Thanks for the reply. It is on a shared server so I guess thats causing the problem.
