[GENERAL] How to increase number of connections to 7.2.1

[Edwin New]

I need to increase the number of connections to PostgreSQL 7.2.1.   I have tried changing the value of max_connections in Postgresql.conf.  It was commented out (as are all other entries except "tcpip_socket = true").  Setting it to any other value that the default 32 resulted in the server failing to restart.   I know we should upgrade from 7.2.1 and that is going to happen soon, but this is a production server and I need a solution sooner.   Thanks in advance, Edwin New Analyst Programmer Toll - Integrated Business Systems 43 - 63 Princes Highway, Doveton,  VIC.  3175 Ph:     03 8710 0858 Fax:    03 9793 3970 Mobile: 0417 341 074 Email:  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
