Hello, my problem: I run a phpbb-Forum with a mysql database on a linux server. Every 5 - 7 days the mysql database runs in a vicious circle:
"mysqladmin --user=x --password=y ping" says that the "connect failed". The socket /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock is there. "ps aux | grep mysqld" shows me some mysqld-processes. But one of them is marked as "<defunc>". To find the reason causing the problem I started mysqld with the "--log"-option and the "--log-error"-option as recommended by others to me at forums.mysql.com. Now I have a log-file, but as far as I can judge it there are no error-messages in the log-file but only innocent queries. The mysqld.err-log-file is allways empty (0 Bytes). What else can I do to observe myslqd? If this mailing list is not the right place to ask such questions please let me know.
