I'm trying to set up a dev PostgreSQL server. It's running and I'm able to create roles, tables, etc. from the command line. However when I try to apply evolutions using Play, I get the following error:
org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: FATAL: sorry, too many clients already
I'm able to connect and if I put in a syntax error on purpose, it returns the syntax error so I know that Play is able to connect to the database. However, after the evolution is successfully applied I get the error shown above.
I'm not terribly well versed in PostgreSQl administration so I'm not sure if the problem is with Play or my PostgreSQL installation. I just installed it using Heroku's Postgres.app on a Mac running Mountain Lion.
Here is what gets written to the console:
! @6cnb0blpp - Internal server error, for request [GET /] ->

Thanks!
You can reduce the number of connections used by your application. Had the same errors on a mac install. As shown in the official documentation :
db.default.partitionCount=2
# The number of connections to create per partition. Setting this to
# 5 with 3 partitions means you will have 15 unique connections to the
# database. Note that BoneCP will not create all these connections in
# one go but rather start off with minConnectionsPerPartition and
# gradually increase connections as required.
db.default.maxConnectionsPerPartition=5
# The number of initial connections, per partition.
db.default.minConnectionsPerPartition=5
