Hi The I have noticed that the number of Aborted Clients and Aborted Connections has increased sharply recently on our two production servers, but not on our development server.
Yesterday we started getting a number of blocked host errors, which we had to clear up with flush hosts. http://www.mysql.com/doc/B/l/Blocked_host.html This morining, I increased the max_connect_errors from 10 to 10000, and the problem has thankfully disappeared. I know that this hides the problem, but I am at a loss to explain the cause. The favourite causes are - use of mysql_pconnect (introduced in Novemeber) - use of fsockopen($Primary, 3306, &$errno,&$errstr,5) (closed by fclose()) to test if connection possible before attempting connection (introduced last week) - much high web activity causing recycling of httpd processes mysql_pconnect was used to improve performance, and reduce load -- it works fsockopen is used to determine if the web process should use the local, or remote database. Can anyone shed any light on the causes of Aborted Clients and Connects, and whether mysql_pconnect and fsockopen would have an effect ?
