Good to see the issue has been solved. What I noticed in the mysqltuner output, is that you may want to enlarge your table_cache and open files limit before you run into problems there.

Yes, because MyISAM doesn't have a mechanism for keeping multiple concurrent consistent views on a table, SELECT also locks the table for writes. There is one important and occasionally useful exception, though: if there are no holes in the table (ie, if you haven't done any deletes) the engine will allow inserts to append to the table while selects are happening. -- Bier met grenadyn Is als mosterd by den wyn Sy die't drinkt, is eene kwezel Hy die't drinkt, is ras een ezel -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql?unsub=arch...@jab.org
