[FX.php List] 956 Maximum number of database sessions exceeded error message

[Roger Moffat]

When I see this on FileMaker Server 9 it's because something has  
crashed/quit on the database server machine - I can go to it and open  
for example a Console log window, so the machine "seems" alive, but  
yet the Web Publishing Engine machine can't connect to it.

I end up having to restart the database server machine.
