Help me for "DBI->connect failed: Sorry, too many clients already."
my cgi program is test.cgi:
#######################
require "./connectdb.pl";
&connectdatabase();
$query="select count(*) from messages";
$sth=$dbh->prepare($query);
$sth->execute();
$count=$sth->fetchrow_array();
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print <<"TAG";
<html>
<body>
<h2> The count is $count. </h2>
</body>
</html>
TAG
exit 0;
#############
my connectdb.pl :
sub connectdatabase {
# my ($dbusername,$dbpassword)=@_;
$dbusername="postgres";
$dbpassword="lokicom";
$dbname="mboardsony";
use DBI;
$dbh=DBI->connect("dbi:Pg:dbname=$dbname",$dbusername,$dbpassword) or die "can
not connect to $dbname\n";
}
1;
#######################
my os is Redhat 6.2,and perl 5.005,and web server is Apache.
The problem is:when I run test.cgi,it can work properly.But when I press F5
to refresh the web page for sever minutes,the Apache will have error message:
"DBI->connect failed: Sorry, too many clients already."
Who can help me?
Thank you ahead.
