OS: Win 2k Web Server: Apache 1.3.27 PHP: 4.1.2 MySQL: 3.23.39 really can't tell if this is a coding issue, a software issue, or just a random bug somewhere... basically we have a fairly large intranet, serving up several thousand pages/hits everyday to mainly mac/pc users. somewhere, in all this, there are some connections to the database not being closed. there's no real way for us to tell where this is happening yet, although we're gonna put in some extra log tables to try and trap when exactly it's happening. surely PHP should close every database connection once the page has been served up tho? and surely it should leave a lot more open than just 1 or 2 if it were a coding issue? are there any known issues with this kinda configuration with this kinda randomness? we manage to fix it using some repair utilities, but this isn't a solution really. it says that there is some connections left open with soem clients, so this then locks certain tables, and kinda shuts down parts of the database. we will be upgrading the system soon, but we're putting it all onto a new box, so don't want the hassle of doing an upgrade now, and then again in a few weeks. -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
