Does anyone with a high traffic drupal site ever have their site crash due to "limited connection strings" (data base error)
create a file called phpinfo.php with <?php phpinfo(); ?> Code (markup): and execute it /yourdomain.com/phpinfo.php Look at the lines mysql.max_links Unlimited Unlimited mysql.max_persistent Unlimited Unlimited mysql.trace_mode Off Off Code (markup): see if there is any limits placed on your site. Also turn or Persistant connection in your software if you have it set. Depending on your permissions and your webhosting setup you may be able to change mysql.max_links from phpMyAdmin or contact your webhost
Superpump, post your setting of mysql.max_links mysql.max_persistent Code (markup): when you run phpinfo(); Another thing you can do - if you do not want to write phpinfo() is locate phpMyAdmin from your database console and look at the resources and processes. If you mention your web hosting console i can give your more accurate information.
