Hi.. When installing MySQL the default max_connections is set to 100 but should be the same as the MaxClients for Apache, 150. Since there are many users that use a LAMP solution and the there should be enough MySQL connections for the Apache... Is this a bad idea?
Yes it's a bad idea. The apache maxclients needs to be higher because apache also serves static content and alternatively, your application could be using pconnect and sharing connections. Really, if this is a problem with your system, change the setting yourself, as it's specific to your application.
