We're using Tomcat 4.1.27 and we have a main database that the web app uses most of the time, and then a small MySQL database that Tomcat is configured to use for basic authentication. We used to have trouble with the main db hanging up on us, so we had a little watch program running to restart Tomcat to reset the db connections whenever it could no longer open a JSP that performed some minor db access, but now we've resolved that problem. However, Tomcat still hangs on us (albeit less frequently), and now we're wondering if this issue is completely different.
Could MySQL be hanging on us, or is it Tomcat? For a while we've been thinking it was MySQL, but couldn't test it very easily. Today, I was browsing the site, and all of a sudden some images stopped loading (only some, not all), and some of the text sizes were weird, meaning it seemed like the stylesheet wasn't loading. Right after this, our site went down as it does a few times every day, and we had to restart Tomcat. Often when we have to restart it, we have to restart it again a short time later (during peak time). Any ideas as to what's going on here? Thanks, Stephen P.S. I decided to play with Tomcat 5 a few months ago, but got annoyed at all the changes necessary to reconfigure our web app, so I put it aside without finishing it. Do we need that, or just a later version of Tomcat 4, or what? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
