Topic: max number of users

hello folks,

how can I increase the max number of users? we've been hitting the max too often. this doesn't seem to be a punbb setting. does it happen in mysql setup?

what's a reasonable limit? any other variables to consider?

thanks!

Re: max number of users

You mean the maximum number of connections? That is in the MySQL config indeed.

Re: max number of users

thanks elbekko. should I increase things 50% and see what happens? what errors or problems should I watch out for? i've never really pushed mysql very hard...

Re: max number of users

Well, it depends what the current setting is. And how many visitors you have. It could be other things.

Re: max number of users

What sort of numbers are you talking about re 'maximum users'.

Tweaking for maximum users BTW is a black art that can involve not only MySQL settings, but (if you run LAMP) also lots of tomfoolery involving Apache and PHP and sometimes even punBB itself.
