Hello,

We recently upgraded a development server running RH Linux 7.2 from Apache 1.3.26/PHP 
4.2.3 to Apache 1.3.27/PHP 4.3.1.

A day after the upgrade, we started experiencing lost of connections to MySQL DB. The 
DB server is in a remote server.

The error that I am getting is:
PHP Warning:  mysql_pconnect() [<a 
href='http://www.php.net/function.mysql-pconnect'>function.mysql-pconnect</a>]: Link 
to server lost, unable to reconnect in 
/home/pgodel/public_html/ecare/ebill2/inc/db.inc.php on line 30

Line 30 has:
$r = mysql_pconnect(DB_SERVER,DB_USER, DB_PASS);


If I hit refresh, the connection is estabilished flawlessly... But later, the problem 
can happen again, randomly.

I researched the mailing list with no apparent discussed problems, I researched on 
google, and there are several mentions of the same problem, all since 4.3.0

Is this a real problem? I am affraid of upgrading my production servers because of 
this.

Any ideas on how to debug this deeper ?

Any help and ideas will be greatly appreciate it.

Thank you
Pablo Godel
