Connection Error

[Solarjetman]

Baldrick,

Since you upgraded, I have gotten the following error twice

Warning: mysql_connect(): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061) in e:\vcdhelp\www\forum\db\mysql4.php on line 48
phpBB : Critical Error

Could not connect to the database

Usually just exiting and restarting my browser fixes it. Has anyone else recieved this?

[Baldrick]

i'm doing some mysql testing

[gmatov]

I've been getting it about half the time.

I just submitted a post, got the error, backarrowed, re-submit, and said I had already posted. I had, in fact, but the error msg made me think not.

Methinks the server farm has some bugs to work out.

Baldrick, I know you're working on it, don't mind us.

What I'd like to know is if Tgcmd performed an illegal op because of this site. That popped up as I was typing a reply. Gonna have to shut down to get rid of the box, ctrl-alt-del won't let me, and can't close it.

Yet, this forum works while it's up. I think I'm lost.

[Baldrick]

is anyone expert on mysql query_cache_size ?

[Baldrick]

no experts here???



but I think I found some good mysql settings.....it doesn't crash so it must be good...


Now I'm moving on to next problem...apache 2 and php 4.3.3....

"If it ain't broken don't fix it"

But it is broken...apache1.3 and win2k on dual amd=crap.

[The village idiot]

Well i would have to say that the win2k is the problem there. The really good unix stuff never ports right to windows.

You could be running on a Mac you know Apache is supported under OSX. And most of the rest of the free BSD ports collection.

Maybe TGPO will throw a fundraiser just to get your server off of windows and onto a Mac

But Redhat would be the way to go. If I knew it better, I'd offer. One board had 1500 people all at the same time, and it only slightly slowed. And that was with dual PIII Xeons in the machine. I think they were 600Mhz. But at the time, the database was on another machine. And all the active threads were kept in ram. I would point you to the site, but it has gone private, so it wouldn't do any good.

[Baldrick]

I know but I can't change OS. Maybe in the future but not right now.

Sounds like a good plan to me.
