Ah, apparently I *had* left some appenders using DBI_Buffer (DBI appender subclass) in my config. I retested a bunch of things today and I could not reproduce the error unless I had my DBI_Buffer appender in the config.
Further investigation showed that the mysql server was reaching its maximum number of allowed connections (currently set at 250). Apparently my appender is not closing its dbh filehandles. I'm going to start a separate thread, since the problem is something totally different (in my code, probably). I apologize for my inadequate testing :( -- Rob ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ log4perl-devel mailing list log4perl-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/log4perl-devel
