Hi Folks. I've seen similar questions asked both here, and via a google search - but I haven't found an answer which has helped yet - so heres hoping!!
I run a Linux webserver which has PHP 4 installed, and am currently prototyping a design using MySQL 5.0-alpha on Windows 2K professional. The two servers are on different subnets of a LAN, but are able to talk to each other unrestricted (all TCP services I have tried work perfectly, e.g. SMTP, FTP). The problem is that connections from PHP to MySQL seem to take 4-5 seconds (after which any queries within the connection go through in normal lengths of time - only the connection time itself is long). Although I have a fully functional internal DNS server, I thought name resolution might be an issue. I amended my PHP pages (they inherit a global 'data connection' object which is used as a wrapper) to connect to the Win2k box by IP address - and the problem persists. Has anyone else encountered this, and are there any ideas? Connections from the same Linux box with PHP to another Linux box on the same subnet as the Win2k box running MySQL 4 work perfectly - so is it possible this is a MySQL 5 issue? I am using the 'old connections' flag (but have tried both with it off and on, since I am not actually using a password for the connection at present). Any suggestions will be most gratefully received! Cheers, Matt -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
