Re: MySQL Max connections?

 Hello list,
 
 I am having a problem with mysql refusing connections intermittently on
 a webserver. It acts like an invisible limit has been hit on the maximum
 number of connections. Not finding any info in the config files about
 the max number of connections allowed, I did some googling. 
 
 This url is the closest I can find, though I notice their syntax seems
 to be a lot different from the standard mysql config file in Debian. Not
 to mention that the page was last updated 09/2003.
 
 http://www-css.fnal.gov/dsg/external/freeware/mysqlTuning.html
 
 Can anyone tell me if this is the correct way to increase the max number
 of connections, or how to do it if it's not? I would try to test it
 myself, but it is a bit hard to do on a busy server and when I would
 need a huge number of connections. 
 

There are tow ways to set the limit of maximium connections at one time:

- connect to mysql as root and type:
mysql set global max_connections=xxx;

you can check your vars with:
mysql show variables;

-- after restart of mysqld the default value is back.

- edit /etc/my.cnf and add

max_connections = xxx

to the [mysqld] section

-- this would cause mysqld to use this var after next restart


good luck,

Achim





 TIA,
 Jacob

 Do you or anybody else know what the default number is for

100 is the default-value for max_connections

 I suppose it could be system load causing my problem,
 since top usually shows an average of 4.0 or 5.0 when the problem
 occurs. It seems like the whole mysql server or apache would be killed
 though if that were the case. (Server is a 2.2Ghz P4 with 512MB of ram.)
 

just took a look and our primary webserver - it's running 185 mysqld and
36 httpd processes - load average is 0.11, 0.19, 0.18 on a 1.8 ghz
celeron with 1.5 gb of physical ram.

perhaps some more ram whould help fixing your problem - afaik mysql is
getting much faster and efficient as more ram it can use.

now your php should know of mcrypt functions.

So you should search the corresponding php4-mcrypt-package from

installed the package from standard-woody).

Re: Intel SR1325TP1-E 3ware 9xxx RAID thoughts

2004-10-14 Thread Achim Schmidt
Hi Simon,

We recently installed a intel SR1325TP1-E with a 3ware 7000-SATA-RAID
running sarge - no problems with RAID - 3ware-software (RAID-cli and
management via webserver works fine) - but unfortunatelly Intels Server
Management 5.* does not support debian (better said no other linux than
rh) - this means you will not be able to monitor fan-speeds and
temperatures using lm_sensors/i2c 

- if we had the chance again we would purchase some other server/board
(e.g. tyan)

Re: mysql refusing access from other machines

You are sure mysql is listening on all interfaces and not only lo ?

perhaps take a look to my.cnf and check if skip-networking is active -

 i'm getting really confused with how to properly allow

 that is, i tried this as mysql root user:
 
 
 GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ON my_sql_db.* TO
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
 
 
 after this, i can access mysql as 'dbuser' from the
 localhost. the mysql servers ip add by the way is
 192.168.1.1, and since i also want that user to be
 able to access from 192.168.1.2, i also did this
 command:
 
 
 GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ON my_sql_db.* TO
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
 
 
 that should have been it but whenever i try to access
 mysql from 192.168.1.2, i keep getting an Can't
 connect to MySQL server error.
 
 im pretty sure i did this right, but it just wont
 work. did i do anything wrong? what could i possible
 have overlooked?
 
 i even tried installing phpmyadmin and using it to add
 users, even going as far as adding users with host '%'
 but i just can't connect to mysql from another
 machine.
 
 anybody have any idea what could be going on here?

Hi Daniel,


to check if your reverse zone registered:

to check if your reverse delegation is working inside nameservice:

$ dig @ns.ripe.net any in 28.129.82.in-addr.arpa

 Thanks for your reply,
 
 How can I see the maximum file size allowed ?
 I'd like to know what's the largest file I can create and/or if I can
 increase/decrease this size.
 
 Thanking you ..
 Best Regards
 Rudi.
