Hi-ho, This isn't a question, but a solution for anyone who's running a MySQL box on RedHat 7.1 and keeping up with patches.. Having just spent two hours beating my head against a brick wall with one of our production servers I thought I'd share the gem I found..
If you've updated to the latest glibc from RH, (glibc-2.2.4-30) then it's likely that your odbc, or any other non local (ie: anything over the LAN) connections to mysql are broke. Not sure if this applies to 7.2 7.3 8 etc as well. I updated glibc back when the errata came out (4th of this month) but the problem didn't appear until a restart this afternoon. The workaround (found on one of the redhat lists) is pasted below.. Thought I might save someone some pain! :-). -----Original Message----- From: Jakub Jelinek [mailto:jakub@;redhat.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 09, 2002 3:45 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: MySQL Broken After Up2date On Wed, Oct 09, 2002 at 05:30:36PM +0800, Eric Administrator wrote: > can fix /etc/my.cnf add this two line > > set-variable=max_allowed_packet=16M > set-variable=thread_stack=1M set-variable=thread_stack=128k should be enough. glibc updates which allow low thread stack sizes will be out soon.
