MySQL - Too many connections

[thewicard]

I am getting the Too many connections error in mysql when having above 30-40 online in my hotel, tried to edit max_connections in my.ini to 5000 but that resulted in that mysql refused to start, (it starts fine now)
How do I increase the number of max_connections or how do I disable the limit?

I am using IIS 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, MySQL for Windows

This happened to me in my db, i had to reset the whole vps, sorry to say. Its a bug and mine got caused by someone booting.
