Too many database connections

**tosca** · 05/15/2010, 15:02

I'm currently entering data in a catalog with several links to the taxonomy and pages tables.
Every 10 records or so, TL crashes with the following message:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception Exception with message Could not connect to database (Too many connections) thrown in /homez.110/marienoe/www/system/libraries/Database.php on line 76

Anything can be done to fix this problem?

Contact your hosting provided to increase the amount of DB connections on your plan.

As it seems to be related to a certain number of inserts/updates I can do each time, I thought it could be some DB connection that is opened for each operation and not closed afterwards.

In fact, the problem arises when I use the "Save and close" and "New item" in sequence for more than 10 or 12 times.
But the "Save and new" can be used repeatedly without crashing the system.

Hi, that sounds like an persistent connection to the DB.
You can change that in the localconfig.php.

This parameter?

Code:

$GLOBALS['TL_CONFIG']['dbPconnect'] = false;

But its value is already 'false' :?

Than you had to contact your hosting provider as thyon said. I think there is something not so nice configured.

Help!

I got the same problem, but coupled with the effect that Contao is unbelievable slow!

Can somebody help?

I also got catalog installed, but the effect occurs even when no interaction with the catalog is done.

Contao is getting slow like four times a day, and then suddenly it's really fast again.

My provider also is 1&1. But all the other sites on the account are as fast as ever.

Please, some hints on where to check?
