[Pagekit-users] DBI connections and pagekit

[Shimon R. <sh...@ru...>]

Today my group attempted to deploy a new pagekit site in place of an
existing, heavily trafficked site.  We found that we quickly reached the
limit of connection our PostgreSQL database could handle, and even when
upping this to 1200 connections, the limit would eventually be reached and
many site features would stop working.  (The site is busy, but not *that*
busy.)  We are using Apache::DBI, so we haven't been careful about dealing
with database connections, and I am worried maybe we are missing some
cleanup step; or alternatively Apache::DBI is keeping too many connections.
Has anyone else experienced this kind of problem on a high-traffic pagekit
site?  Or does anyone have particular practices for database connections in
pagekit sites?  Or just general Apache::DBI sites?

thanks,
shimon.
