Error 956 - Maximum number of database sessions exceeded

Featured Replies

Using fx.php, I am trying to make a connection to a FileMaker 7 Advanced Server database. Using code that previously worked, I now cannot retrieve data and receive the error 956. There shouldn't be more than 1 connection being made, as the application that I am writing is still in development. Can the number of concurrent connections be changed through FileMaker, or is it a static number?

That is strange, because FM server advanced will allow up to 100 concurrent users, even using IWP.

Are you doing this on a client version of filemaker?

It still doesn't answer why more sessions are being created if you are the only one using it.

Good luck

I am able to use FM Pro as a client to connect to FM Advanced Server. This works problem-free. The error occurs when I use FX.PHP or FM-and-PHP to connect to the database. The web server and FM server are both on the same computer.
