Oct 25 22:00:01 sql02 php: PHP Warning: mysqli_connect(): (HY000/2013): Lost connection to MySQL server at 'sending authentication information', system error: 32 in /home/foo/web/foo.com/core.php on line 2394 It's either this or one or two others. What is odd is I have switched to making it sockets only - doesn't seem to help. I think it was anyway, it's all over localhost. It wasn't always like this either. Can't seem to find any reason for it. Scripts are able to connect at near lightning speed, do 20+ queries a page load and disconnect without an issue before it even shows up in a "show processlist" but I'm seeing issues with disconnections on localhost. I wanted to upgrade to PHP 5.3.x to use the mysqli.reconnect option, but I don't think the code will work 100% - does anyone else have any ideas? I have a second server, same specs, being beaten (not as hard, but decently) that exhibits none of these behaviors. mysql 5.0.75 on ubuntu jaunty 64-bit php 5.2.11 (but has been showing this issue since 5.2.9 if not earlier, I didn't start tracking it then) I don't understand why it would be having issues during the authentication phase especially over localhost or socket!?! I think this might be more of a question for the PHP community than the MySQL one; I've tried some additional MySQL tuning and it doesn't seem to help, and the error comes from PHP, I can't reproduce it any other way. Any ideas? Thanks! -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
