Admins!

What are you doing to fix the mysql too many connections issue that seems to continue since after you did the website redesign? I on several occasions get the following mysql_connect error message:

"Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Too many connections in /appl/webdata/HSX/popsci/adodb/drivers/adodb-mysql.inc.php on line 340
*** Failed to connect to database! *** Too many connections"

I would like to hear from an admin and not just the standard canned response of "We are working on it."

Thank you.
David L.
