When you connect with a client, mysql_real_connect opens a socket to the server, does the handshaking, then authenticates and passes the query info. When I connect, I don't get anything, and gdb says the client is hung in one of the net_read routines, which makes sense - the client is waiting for something from the server. Is this a MySQL issue or not? I'm not sure - I just downloaded MySQL-3.23.47-1.i386.rpm and installed it (this is supposedly the static version of the server, no?) and it gave me exactly the same result, which if it was a Linux issue, it shouldn't react the same, since it was linked statically, so I'm leaning towards it being a MySQL issue of MySQL not handling an error condition properly. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
