ZoneMinder Forums

First of all, sorry for my english level.

I'm new as admin with ZoneMinder. I'm using v1.34 and i know that it is a unsupported version. I have a problem when i try to load any video-event.

I have few cameras that records short video (5 seconds more or less), but i have two cameras that records events with 10 minutes duration. Thought interface web, when i want to see an event with short duration, i can see it, but when i want to see a event with long duration, i can't view it.

In error.log from apache2, i can see the error: "Unable to connect to ZM DB SQLSTATE[HY000] [1040] Too many connections".

I check the mysql config and it support 150 connections. I already have 80~85 connections. The user database hasn't connection limit (max_user_connections = 0).

the zoneminder daemon is running and zmc processes is running too.

ZoneMinder works fine: it is recording, web interface runs ok, short video-events can be loaded, only long video-events doesn't load.

I don't know where is the problem. This system has been working for several years, it is only now that it has started to show this error.

Thanks for any help!

It's been a while, but I seem to remember increasing the mySQL connection limit got around this.
It was pretty easy as I recall - google it.

I did it but isn't fix it.

I've found the solution. When I use Google Chrome in ZoneMinder and i try to load that videos, the browser enter in a loop with multiple conections over the database and increase and increase raise to the conections and query limit, in this moment the server responses "too many connections". If I use another browser like Mozilla Firefox, isn't happend.

I think i've receive any update on our antivirus software or anything that crashes the Google's browser with mysql connections.

Easy solution: stop using Google Chrome for ZoneMinder.

That's new(ish).
Thanks for the update.
