Have a look at the runtime-config.html in the admin section of the
manual:
MAX_CONNECTIONS (integer)
Determines how many concurrent connections the database server will
allow. The default is 32. There is also a compiled-in hard upper limit
on this value, which is typically 1024 (both numbers can be altered when
compiling the server). This parameter can only be set at server start.
