I'm trying to increase the maxium number of connections to my MySQL database
but I am not sure how to do this.  I've gone to the manual and it doesn't
say too much (maybe i'm looking in the wrong spot?).  The machine I'm
running is an AMD 650 with 512 Ram on RedHat 7.1 and MySQL 3.23.41 so I
found the following line in the manual:

safe_mysqld -O key_buffer=64M -O table_cache=256 \
           -O sort_buffer=4M -O record_buffer=1M &

However, it seems that I need to shut down the mysql db before I can run
this.  This still doesn't solve the problem of the max number of
connections.  I don't have a my.cnf file to change on the server so the only
thing I can think of is to tack on "-O max_connections=500" at the end of
the line above.  Is this correct? What do I need to do to maximize the
preformance on my machine?

Thanks.
