Question
What file do I modify to increase my MYSQL max connections?
My db is giving a “too many connections” error so I need to increase the max number of connections. What (and what path) is the file that I need to modify?
I have searched the topics and submitted a support ticket… but nothing.
This is an excerpt of my error log: 2019/12/13 20:13:02 [error] [exception.CDbException] SQLSTATE[HY000] [2006] MySQL server has gone away 2019/12/13 20:13:02 [error] [application] CDbConnection failed to open the DB connection. 2019/12/13 20:13:02 [error] [exception.CDbException] SQLSTATE[HY000] [1040] Too many connections

Hi @mxmxmktg,
There are a bunch of different reasons for the “Too Many Connections” error.
Check out this FAQ page on MySQL.com: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/too-many-connections.html
Check your /etc/my.cnf file for “max_connections”. If none exist try:
However the default is 151, so you should be okay.
Other problems to look out for is the use of persistent connections and running out of diskspace.
