Active connections

Post by Luke »

My IP keeps getting blocked from accessing my host's server due to "over 50 active connections on one port". Does anybody have any suggestions as to what could be causing this?

It is exactly what it sais.. there are too many connections on the server at that particular time.

You should talk to your host about increasing this limit, considering that is pretty damn low..

Hmm... well they said there were too many for that particular port... couldn't that mean that there is like a mysql problem?

that "limit" is a setting in MySQL. It is not a problem for MySQL per se, it may be more of a problem for that server. If shared, you share the connection pool with other users on that server. At times, you could very easily run out of connections available with that low of a setting. If the host won't pop the number up to say 100 or more, you may want to consider moving to a different host or upgrading your service.

I'd love to... but it's not my decision. It is lypha.com. My boss loves them but as long as we've had them I've had to deal with a lot of bullsmurf.
