Where is my my.cnf file ? Problem with max_user_connections, vB
| Posted by Gearbox, 01-24-2011, 06:11 PM | | I need a bit of help finding my my.cnf file. Its not there in the /etc folder.
I run a vB forum on a dedicated server, use centOS5 and have root access.
I am getting this error ( for a few minutes only) when i run the full backup option in cpanel.
User Test_Prototype already has more than 'max_user_connections' active connections
/home/Test/public_html/forums/includes/class_core.php on line 311

find / -name my.cnf

root@Prototype [/]# find / -name my.cnf
/usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/my.cnf
/etc/my.cnf
my.cnf from /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/my.cnf
[mysqld]
set-variable = max_connections=500
log-slow-queries
safe-show-database
my.cnf from /etc/my.cnf
[mysqld]
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
skip-locking
skip-innodb
query_cache_limit=1M
query_cache_size=32M
query_cache_type=1
max_user_connections=25
max_connections=500
interactive_timeout=10
wait_timeout=10
connect_timeout=10
thread_cache_size=128
key_buffer=16M
join_buffer=1M
max_allowed_packet=16M
table_cache=1024
record_buffer=1M
Is the second one the correct file ?
Also, what would be a safe number for the max_connections value ?
I run a dedicated amd 940 quad core, 4 GB, 2X 250 GB.
This db error happens only for a few minutes when i m using the full backup tool in cpanel and for a few seconds when i dump the db using mysqldump.

Max user connections could be raised to 250. Then restart mysql.
