Hello, I've got a big board using Linux Mdk 8.2, PHP 4.1.2 and Mysql 3.23.49. All messages are stored in one table (850 000 messages) and I have some other tables but smaller. My posts table is 500 Mo large, index is also big because of full text index.
I now have problems with my board: the posts table is locking for fews minutes and all tasks are waiting to be executed until max_connections is at the limit. It seems that post table is locket by an INSERT of a message. After minutes, INSERT is done and all others requests are done bit server is very loaded and some user have "Too many connections" error. I've "solved" problem with wait_timeout=120 instead of 28800 but this is not a good solution. My.cnf: set-variable = max_connections=100 set-variable = key_buffer=384M set-variable = max_allowed_packet=1M set-variable = table_cache=2M set-variable = sort_buffer=2M set-variable = record_buffer=1M set-variable = myisam_sort_buffer_size=64M set-variable = thread_cache=25 set-variable = wait_timeout=120 set-variable = thread_concurrency=4 My computer: Dell 1500SC, 2 scsi 3 disks (RAID1), 1 Go RAM, 2x P III 1,4 Ghz. Have you got any idea of what is going wrong ? Thank you and have a nice day. -- Renaud Kilos Multimedia France --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
