Hello, I have searched high and low for more specifics to the problem I am having but to no avail. Hopefully someone here can help. I really appreciate any knowledge that may be imparted. On to the question!
We have numerous mail servers running qmail/vpopmail with MySQL used as the backend. Password authentication is done with vpopmail. Vpopmail is written in C using the mysql api. Occassionally, as in once every 20 trys or so, not dependant on the system load, an error is thrown when authenticating: vmysql: mysql store result failed. Tracking this error leads to this line of code: Line 387: if (!(res_read = mysql_store_result(&mysql_read))) { One line above does not fail, called on the same MySQL struct: Line 381: if (mysql_query(&mysql_read,SqlBufRead)) { Dumping mysql_errno and mysql_error to syslog show this: errno=2000 error=Unknown MySQL error The mysql error log doesn't contain any generated messages. I'm really at a loss here. The same query works moments later and moments before. It doesn't seem to be dependent on the input to the query. Here is the define for the query: #define USER_SELECT "select pw_name, pw_passwd, pw_uid, pw_gid, \ pw_gecos, pw_dir, pw_shell , pw_clear_passwd, (pw_smtp <= pw_mpd && pw_smtp >= 0) AS pw_allow_smtp, pw_aap \ from %s where pw_name = \"%s\" and pw_domain = \"%s\" " It is written to the buffer like this: snprintf(SqlBufRead, SQL_BUF_SIZE, USER_SELECT, domstr, user, domain); Is there a way to make mysql more verbose to aid in locating this error? Has anyone run across something similar? Am I just missing something here? Thanks for your help, David ------ Configuration Information -------- The client was running 3.23.x client libs, but I upgraded them to 4.1.9 and did not see a change (i did recompile vpopmail after the upgrade).
