HI

I'm trying to install HP IMC+MySQL ver 5.7 and get error Checking Database Parameter Configuration... Not Passed The following database parameters do not meet the installation requirements. Please modify the configuration according to the iMC MySQL database installation and configuration guide and try again: max_connections

My mysql config file

Whats wrong?

I set max_connections to 400 with MySQL 5.6, and that works.

IMC 7.2 does not officially support 5.7 (only 5.5 & 5.6). That may be part of your problem (i.e. it's failing checks because of something else, but it gets misreported as a max_connections issue).

I downgraded my sql to ver 5.6 and got the same error Whats wrong?

What happens if you use 400, not 500?

the same error

This is the contents of my my.cnf file. Works with both IMC 7.1 & 7.2, using MySQL 5.6 on RHEL 6.x.
