I am writing a unix deamon for email processing that uses this mysql
server. I got a "MySQL error: MySQL server has gone away" error. I figured
the reason was that my connection timed out. This was because my deamon
opens the connections it needs at startup and uses them throughout its
lifetime, thus causing "gone away" error. I saw 2 fixes for this.
1. Increasing wait_timeout value. How should i do this so that it is
set to the new value every time i start the server?
2. Opening and closing a mysql connection each time I need to execute
a query. Is this a good way to do things, or should I prefer the above
method?
One more question. I moved mysql.sock file from /tmp to protect it from
beeing deleted by admins when system is cleanedup. It is now located in
/student1/mysql/ directory. I changed all relevant paths in /etc/my.cnf
file but still when I issue `mysql` on the command line it complaints
about beeing unable to find "/tmp/mysql.sock", only
"mysql --socket=/student1/mysql/mysql.sock" works. Why?
Here is my.cnf :
# Example mysql config file for medium systems.
#
# This is for a system with little memory (32M - 64M) where MySQL plays
# a important part and systems up to 128M very MySQL is used together with
# other programs (like a web server)
#
# You can copy this file to
# /etc/my.cnf to set global options,
# mysql-data-dir/my.cnf to set server-specific options (in this
# installation this directory is /usr/local/mysql/var) or
# ~/.my.cnf to set user-specific options.
#
# One can in this file use all long options that the program supports.
# If you want to know which options a program support, run the program
# with --help option.
# The following options will be passed to all MySQL clients
[client]
#password = your_password
port = 3306
socket = /student1/mysql/mysql.sock
# Here follows entries for some specific programs
# The MySQL server

port = 3306

Thank you for any and all help, and I loved mysql so far.
