Problems with your MySQL (mysqli) support

[DrByte]

Some of the latest cPanel updates are not providing "mysqli" as an extension. (Those same cPanel updates are also progressively pushing forward with things that will eventually make your old ZC 1.5.4 unable to run without upgrading.)

In the meantime, you can bypass zc_install's check for "mysqli" by editing one of the zc_install files:

/zc_install/includes/systemChecks.yml (around line 70 depending on the ZC version):

  mysqlExt:
     runLevel: always
     errorLevel: FAIL
     criticalError: true

Make 2 changes to that "mysqlExt:" section: change that FAIL to WARN, and remove the criticalError: true line.

Not sure if this is the right place for this, but here goes...

Recently I (finally) upgraded to 1.5.7 from 1.5.6 (and yes I am currently working on 1.5.8).

I've been live with 1.5.7 since feb 5th and it's been running fine, except I was looking at the logs the other day and on the 13th I had several instances of this -

PHP Warning: mysqli_connect(): (HY000/1040): Too many connections in /home/funkybal/public_html/zencart/includes/classes/db/mysql/query_factory.php on line 63.

I've never come across this before and it hasn't occurred since.

Is this possibly a one off where too many people were trying to access my zencart or could something else be an issue?

For the record I make use of multisite, my zencart has 12 faces which are geographic representations of my store. One theory is being the 13th I might have had a spike in activity across all sites for people desperate to order for valentines day?
