Hello,
I have a Red Hat 9 server which runs a qmail/toaster software package. It allows webmail to authenticate against a mysql db and stores mail there too. K, the issue.. Every once in a while, the web client just SITS at authentication. The client just sits there forever. The login can take up to 85 seconds. Once you are logged into webmail however, it's very very fast. Another note, when myself and my admin are waiting to login, it seems we both finally get through at the same exact time. I don't know where to look to see what's causing this but everything points to my database. A restart of the server will fix the issue...but that's just a workaround. Hardware: P3 1ghz, 3gigs ram, Ultra3 Scsi (Raid 5) I appreciate ANY help you can give. This is a production box and it's causing problems! /etc/my.cnf set-variable = max_connections=1000 set-variable = key_buffer_size=1024M set-variable = sort_buffer=20M #set-variable = read_buffer_size=2M set-variable = join_buffer=1M set-variable = record_buffer=1M set-variable = max_allowed_packet=2M set-variable = table_cache=1024 set-variable = innodb_buffer_pool_size=256M #set-variable = query_cache_limit=1048576 #set-variable = query_cache_size=0 Mysql 3.23.58-1.9
