Zend Framework app not closing mysql connections properly

Question

I\'m having a weird issue using Zend_Db\'s PDO adapter for managing my database connections. All of a sudden, I\'m constantly hitting the connection limit on my MySQL server

Not sure if this is of any use to you but this link gives you a (temporary) good description of the issue you are experiencing as well as a --max_connect_errors setting which you could override:

A user also responds and recommended trying the following on the command line:

> mysqladmin -u  -p processlist

This will give you a list of your current mysql connections to get an idea for how many concurrent connections you are currently running. Again, these aren't solutions per say, but hopefully they get you a step closer to solving the dropped connection issue.
