I've been using MySql for a few months now with no problem whatsoever. All of a sudden it stopped working, it just hangs upon startup. There are no error messages or any messages for that matter. I was using the stable version 3.22 and I tried upgrading to 3.23 (STABLE), but the same thing happens. I'm running on RedHat Linux 6.2. I've seen some problems similar to this on news groups, and their suggestions are to increase the Linux file descriptor limits. However, the system i'm running it on is not used by that many people, i would say only 15 people use the mysql services on that system. Would there be anything else other than the file descriptors that may cause this behavior? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
