What is

MySQL 1158: Too many connections.

 ?
  1. Check the Current Number of Connections: Run the command to see the number of current connections and the maximum allowed connections.


SHOW VARIABLES LIKE "max_connections";
SHOW STATUS LIKE "Threads_connected";


  1. Identify the Source of Connections: Find out which user or host is opening so many connections. This can help identify if it's an application issue or unauthorized access.


SHOW PROCESSLIST;

  1. Increase Max Connections Temporarily: If your server can handle more connections and you need an immediate fix, increase the `max_connections` setting.


SET GLOBAL max_connections = 1000; -- Adjust the number based on your server capacity

  1. Close Idle Connections: Look for idle connections that can be closed. If you find any idle connections from the `SHOW PROCESSLIST` output, you can kill them using:


KILL [connection id]; -- Replace [connection id] with the actual ID from SHOW PROCESSLIST

  1. Flush Hosts: If the error is due to blocked connections because of many connection errors, you can flush the hosts.


FLUSH HOSTS;

Attached error: 
MySQL 1158: Too many connections.
