Hello!

Since yesterday we have a serious problem with our database. Every time time when we start our webserver (apache) the number of processes to the database increases within some minutes till it reaches the maximum. But there are not more than 1,2 users on the side at this time. So why are these processes starting?
As a result of this error our webservers crashes every time.
Please, if somebody knowes about this problem respond me as soon as possible.

Thank you.

Dear Matthias,

You may try again by increasing the number of processes in instance file.

There is one more posibility that in your webserver programmers may have used connection pooling. It is the pool in which few connections are created with database. As soon as a new user connect to the site it checks whether there is any free connection or not if yes then it allows user to access site else keep him on hold or may reject his request.
