Now that's some helpful information. The first thing you need to do is forget about persistent connections being the problem. I don't claim to be an expert at debugging MySQL issues such as this, but I have always found Jeremy Zawodny's mytop to be a very handy tool: http://jeremy.zawodny.com/mysql/mytop/ Using this tool, you might notice some hung query, and you will be able to view the specific SQL statement that is causing problems (for whatever reason). If you are not using persistent connections and getting a "too many connections" message, it means you have at least one situation that results in a connection to MySQL to remain open, possibly even after the Apache child process terminates (a crash, perhaps?). Hope that helps.
