It seems postfix is impatient with connecting with mysql, as I see in
maillog entries like:
Apr 6 11:48:30 z9m9z dovecot: dict: Error: mysql(localhost): Connect
failed to database (postfix): Can't connect to local MySQL server
through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (13) - waiting for 5 seconds
before retry
Apr 6 11:48:35 z9m9z dovecot: dict: Error: mysql(localhost): Connect
failed to database (postfix): Can't connect to local MySQL server
through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (13) - waiting for 25 seconds
before retry
I suspect it does connect eventually. This is a test system with only
1GB of memory and free reports:
total used free shared buff/cache
available
Mem: 1025484 696344 24556 21528 304584 251552
Swap: 524284 92168 432116
The production box has 2GB, so if the problem is mysql is swapping out,
that will be 'fixed', if it is processor, well this is an ARMv7 duo
core, as is the production box. I am considering buying the new quad core.
Is there anything I can do to get postfix more patient with mysql, or
just ignore there messages?
thank you
