Re: MySQL stability on OS X

Clay,

Thank you, this sounds very promissing! I will try this and let you 
know if it helps. This will take a few weeks because the vacation is 
here soon.

Aryan,

I faced a similar problem, as have a few other people on the list, it seems.
On the recommendation of another Mac OS X MySQL user (the extremely helpful
Tony Niesz), I compiled my own MySQL server (rather than using the one Apple
distributes or the binary Marc Liyanage maintains). Prior to running
./configure, I typed:

 setenv CFLAGS -DHAVE_BROKEN_REALPATH

My MySQL server -- running on a dual 500mhz G4 averaging 25 queries per
second, which was crashing several times per day -- has run without a hitch
for nearly 3 weeks since I did this.

That's two weeks on 3.49.50, and a week on 4.0.1-alpha. Both have been
rock-solid with that -DHAVE_BROKEN_REALPATH CFLAG value set.

If you can compile on your own, I'd recommend going that route. I believe
Tony Niesz is working on compiling a bug report/heads up to send to the
MySQL team, Apple and Marc Liyanage. I don't know if he's sent that yet, but
in the meantime I'd recommend trying this.

Good luck!

-Clay

  Subject: MySQL stability on OS X

  Hi,

  Is anyone using MySQL with PHP and Apache on Darwin/OS X as a dynamic
  content webserver with medium/high load?

  We have had al lot of MySQL crashes (once a week) on a 400Mhz G4
  getting an average of 5 SQL queries per second and eventually had to
  move the database to an old Linux 160Mhz Pentium server which has not
  had a single crash since then!

  Would be nice to now why MySQL seems so unstable under load on OS X.
  We tried an old G3 233 Mhz as well but then MySQL crashed already
  after some hours with the same load.

  Kind regards,
  Aryan
