Is there already a mysql privileged account logged in? The database will allow for an administrative account to login, if one is not already active, in the event of too many connections. It sounds as if you may be running one or more accounts with this privilege.

I am creating an index on a very large innodb table that is taking a very long time to complete which I understand is a limitation of innodb. The problem is that another application has been issuing queries against the table and those queries have never timed out. So now I can't kill the connections, because I can't make a database connection to mysql to even see their thread ids: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mysql]$ mysqladmin -u root -p processlist Enter password: mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Too many connections' I don't want to kill the mysqld process, because that would stop my index creation. Is there anything you can do in this situation? I don't think connections from mysqladmin should ever be denied.
