I know this isn't entirely relevant to PHP, but I thought it might
help...

I've found an interesting "feature" of mySQL and the "standard" cron jobs
found in most Linux distros.

If you are using a unix socket to connect to mySQL, that socket usually
lives in /tmp.  Most distros periodically purge old files from /tmp, and
since the mysql.sock is not owned by root, it gets deleted and that causes
mayhem when trying to connect to mysql.

I've encountered (and been seriously bitten by) this problem on
Cobalt/RedHat, RedHat and SuSE distros.  The solution is simply to prevent
that socket from being deleted either by changing ownership or tuning the
overnight cron job.

The MySQL server on the machine died. I've restarted it and it's now
rebuilding the entire check-in history to make sure it's complete.

I'm the lxr/bonsai maintainer so email me in the future.

[PHP-DEV] bonsai.php.net down, no one cares?

[Cynic]

Hi all, 

bonsai on php.net has been down since 2001-05-03 at least.
I've sent a msg to the address given on the error page, 
which bounced. Since the address is [EMAIL PROTECTED],
I concluded it's probably Sascha's address, and sent another mail 
to [EMAIL PROTECTED] That didn't bounce, I haven't recieved anything 
back.
I tried to use bonsai today, and got the very same error msg: 

>Can't connect to database server. at globals.pl line 116.

Line #116 is inside sub ConnectToDatabase {} declaration; that's 
all I can help you with.

Am I the only one who uses lxr & co on php.net?
