That's where I started, and it's why I compiled my own MySQL.
However, the constants mentioned on that page are no longer defined as
of 2.4 kernels and 2.3 glibcs.  It looks like Linux has been somewhat
reengineered to remove hard limits on threads since that page was
written.  And indeed, I don't run into a limit at 1024 threads.
So that's why I'm asking here, in case someone has more recent
information than the MySQL website.

Thanks, I hope someone has the latest info.

Reaching max between 1456-1458 connections

2003-08-10 Thread James B. Wetterau Jr.
I'm baffled by reaching a limit of between 1456 and 1458 connections, at 
which
point I can no longer make new connections.   I've tried compiling my own
MySQL and using the stock MySql RPM's.  I've experimented with ulimits,
values in my.cnf, and kernel parameters, and all the permutations of the 
above
that seemed relevant.  I've tried this on RedHat 8 and 9 systems with a 2.4
kernel and a  glibc-2.3.  I very much want to get this MySql 
installation to scale
significantly higher, and I can no longer find any hard-coded limits 
that seem to
be affecting the number of connections I can make.  The two different 
boxes on
which I have tested are different enough that it doesn't seem possible 
that the
hardware could be the limiting factor and still turn out uniformally to 
reach the
same maximum.  They have very different amounts of RAM, and one box has
just one significantly slower processor, whereas the other has two much 
faster
processors.   But both top out at between 1456 and 1458 connections, both

The error I'm seeing is "Can't create a new thread (errno 11)."  Can anyone
suggest a way to get to the bottom of this problem and to increase whatever
resource is limiting the number of threads I can create?

MySQL 3 and 4 side by side?

2003-07-10 Thread James B. Wetterau Jr.
I'm trying to get both MySQL 3 and 4 running on the same machine, ideally
from RPM packages.  The MySQL 4 RPM complains of a conflict with the
installed MySQL 3.  Can anyone tell me if this installation is possible 
from
RPM's, or will I have to compile MySQL 4?

glibc 2.3.2 compatibility?

2003-07-09 Thread James B. Wetterau Jr.
I'm trying to upgrade the glibc on some machines that do not yet have glibc2
in order to support > 1000 threads.  It seems that some of the instructions
concerning setting a pthread maximum for older glibc's are no longer 
pertinent.
I wonder if the glibc 2.3.2 is known to be compatible with MySQL 4 and 
also if
it is known to support > 1000 threads?
