Several possibilities. What's your max_connections set to? What does
the postgresql log have to say (if anything) about these failed
connections? How many postgres processes are running when this
happens? What OS is this on? Are you using some kind of persistent
php client? Or some other kind of pooling client that might be using
up all the connections?
Any other info you can give us will help.
