Version: 4.0.8, installed from the RPMs downloaded from the mysql.com webpages. The server runs RedHat 8.0, all updates installed. The hardware is a Dell 2650.
Problem: Any connection, using the command line client for example, from any other node fails even though the access should be allowed. The error message is: ERROR 2013: Lost connection to MySQL server during query On the server side this is logged on the console: # /usr/bin/mysqld_safe: line 312: 30764 Segmentation fault $NOHUP_NICENESS $ledir/$MYSQLD $defaults --basedir=$MY_BASEDIR_VERSION --datadir=$DATADIR $USER_OPTION --pid-file=$pid_file --skip-locking >>$err_log 2>&1 The error log contains: mysqld-max process hanging, pid 30774 - killed A simple "fix" is to uninstall the Max rpm: rpm -e MySQL-Max-4.0.8-0 After restarting the problem goes away and the remote access is allowed. Something about the Max package seems to be incompatible with RedHat 8.0 ? -psi --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
