Been dealing with a very frustrating couple of days, and have hit a wall. I had a working gallery2 installation, then upgraded mysqli, and all hell broke loose.
The problem I'm having now is that php5 won't connect to the mysql server. It's not a gallery thing, I've confirmed that I have the exact same problem with a simple script to just connect to the mysql server and read the database. Apache shows -- [Mon Jul 16 02:07:10 2007] [error] [client 66.249.66.10] PHP Warning: mysql_connect() [<a href='function.mysql-connect'>function.mysql-connect</a>]: Too many open links (0) in /usr/local/www/apache22/data/gallery2/lib/adodb/drivers/adodb-mysql.in c.php on line 366 When I try to open a page (in this case gallery2) that connects to the database. It always says "Too many open links". The thing is, it even says that if mysqld is not running. I'm running under freebsd 6.1.
