We are running mysql on a Debian system, so we shouldn't have any of those windows problems. It's really quite confusing, there were no mysql errors when we noticed the problem.

Any other suggestions are welcome, thanks! -- Aaron [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > If you are running MySQL on Windows, then I'm wondering > whether you are having a problem with running out of > available ports, for clients to connect to MySQL on. > > This may be your problem: > > From the manual, 2.3.16.
