Hallo,
I am using PostgreSQL 7.4 on UltraSparc machine and I have a touble with
max_connections param.
I must set only max_connections to 8, when I set more, I got error for shared
memory.

Most connection is from J2EE application server and here is no problem, I am
using connection pooling and I have defined maximum connections for each
datasource here, but there is an old application written in php too, and here is
a problem, sometime connections runs over this param value.

Is this param familiar or I have a problem somewhere in configuration / compilation?

Server has 1 CPU UltraSparc II and 512MB RAM

Thanks for help,
Jiri

You should increase you shared memory settings. You probably want to do some
other tuning too if you haven't done any. There are two good articles on the
configuration file and tuning here:
