Hi, I don't know what type of applications are using your database but if I had to guess at the problem, I would guess that you have a very slow query which runs every now and again that is locking up certain tables/records causing all the other queries to queue up and eventually running out of connections on the DB. To find out if this is the case, when your server gets into this state run a "mysqladmin -v pro" and see if all the queries are waiting for a lock to be freed up.
Hope this helps, Andrew -----Original Message----- From: Joe Shear [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday 23 July 2003 19:45 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: mysql stops processing Hi, Has anyone ever had any problems with MySQL w/ all InnoDB tables just stop processing queries? There doesn't seem to be any pattern to it, it happens at times of relatively high load (load avg of 4 on a dual proc) but the CPUs still have plenty of idle time, and the disks aren't maxing out. It doesn't happen everytime there is a high load either. The box just stops processing every query, and we quickly hit the max connection limit. The only solution we've found is to shutdown mysql and restart it -- at which point it works fine for a couple days. We are running mysql 3.23.56 w/ redhat 7.3 and 2.4.20 kernel. Anybody have any suggestions? thanks, joe -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
