I know this has come up before, but I couldn't find a satisfactory solution. I'm running MySQL 3.23.23 on mandrake linux. It's used by a web site that has very high activity. During times of high activity, I find my perl scripts generating two kinds of errors: DBD::mysql::db selectrow_array failed: Lost connection to MySQL server during query at ... DBI->connect(games) failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111) at .... The MySQL log does not errors. This happens both with Apache::DBI and plain DBI run at the command line. Does anyone have advice on getting rid of these errors? Thanks. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ smalltime industries brings you the latest in games, information, art, and interplanetary transport.
