Is it possible that you're application is not closing connections, and the server has a limit on connection count, and that is reached in a few days ? Actually I'm not sure if the "max_connections" parameter is applicable to local connections too, cause in that case you shouldn't be able to connect locally either... Just a thought. Cheers, Csaba.
