Ciao guys, I am using MySQL 3.23 on a Linux with Apache/PHP. Last week I first run it, and had a 'too many connections' warning. So, I just set the max_connections variable to 200. And since then, no problem. Here is the /etc/my.cnf file under the [mysqld] group: set-variable=key_buffer=16777216 set-variable=max_connections=200 set-variable=table_cache=2048 I want to ask you if there's a way to keep this under control. I mean. What should I do to do this? I use to give a look at the status and extended-status with mysqladmin, but are there any attributes I should keep an eye on? And, why does max_used_connections always says: 100? Kinda weird, isn't it?
