[Typo3-debian] mysql_pconnect(): Too many connections

[Jordan van Bergen]

Hi All,

Nothing to do with the DEBIAN installation & TYPO3 of course, but we are 
getting the following error on a production server:

Warning: mysql_pconnect(): Too many connections in 
/var/lib/typo3/typo3_src-3.7.0/t3lib/class.t3lib_db.php on line 813

The server is hosting like 25 typo3 websites and all of them don't have that 
much visitors. If I search with google everybody is telling not to use 
mysql_pconnect() (persistent) but mysql_connect instead.

Why is using TYPO3 the mysql_pconnect() ? and does anyone know how to set 
some settings so you won't get the above error message?

Regards
