The max_connections parameter of PostgreSQL is the max number of connections 'at the same time'. So, if your web site has more than 33 visitors (let's say 2 connections were "superuser_reserved_connections") at the same time, then you'll get the error "too many connections". BTW, PHP calls pg_close() at the end of script execution, if you are using pg_connect ('not pg_pconnect') at the beginning of the script. To get rid of that error, * Make sure that you aren't using pg_pconnect * Increase max_connections parameter, as well as the parameters related to it.
