One thing that might have changed is your database configuration.
MySQL is often configured to automatically reconnect.
I checked $dbh->{mysql_auto_reconnect} and, as per the docs, it's 1 in
a mod_perl script and 0 otherwise. Is there another place to look? It
seems like something I'd really want to have on.
That doesn't explain all of your errors though. I'm guessing that
you're opening a connection during startup and forking with it. You
need to find that. Look for things that might open a connection
during startup and move them to ChildInitHandlers instead.
That's puzzling. I'm not forking anywhere in my scripts. I did once
try using threads for something, but abandoned it because it
segfaulted in mod_perl and it wasn't db-related anyway. My
startup.perl (minus my modules) is:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
# make sure we are in a sane environment.
$ENV{MOD_PERL} or die "not running under mod_perl!";
use ModPerl::Registry ();
# Apache::DBI must be before DBI
#use Apache::DBI ();
use DBI ();
use CGI '-no_xhtml';
CGI->compile(':all');
use GD ();
use MIME::Base64 ();
use Data::Dumper ();
use XML::Simple ();
use XML::Writer ();
use File::Temp;
1;
Does anything there look fishy?
Thanks,
