Increasing max_connections on MySQL

Hello,

I don't seem to have any luck increasing my max_connections for mysql permantly...

Over SSh I typed "mysqld -O max_connections=1000" But it returns a Security error tellinh me to login as root when I am already logged in as the root user....

Then I tried safe_mysqld but it just hangs there....

I have already stopped the SQL server when I tried to issue this command...
Anyone have any ideas?

Because my server keeps giving too many connection errors so I need to increase the amount of connections to it.

Thanks.
