Are you using a connection pool? If so, what is the configuration?

MediaWiki uses index.php as it's front-controller, so it's no surprise that you'd be getting many errors with that page in particular (because requests always go through that page). Is index.jsp similar to index.php in that it handles a great percentage of your servlet-server traffic? > In Tomcat: it is a mess of exceptions that our developers try and keep > cleaned up. ( We do not use Log4j) Would you care to post some of those? What are the most popular exceptions? What seem to be the worst-sounding? > In Mysql: there are lots of slow queries I've been logging - > 1 sec. Are these mostly coming from your webapp or MediaWiki? Have you investigated these? Often, slow queries arise from inadequate or stale indexes. Try running REPAIR TABLE [tablename] on a table that sees a lot of slow queries. That should update the indexes in case you recently bulk-loaded a lot of data. If that's not the problem (and it's unlikely that it /is/ the problem), you should start running EXPLAIN on some of those queries to see if you have appropriate indexes on your tables. > The errors that occur are random browser disconnects - urls that end or > start with *.jsp/ or *.php/ pages. Something like SocketException: Connection closed? If that's the case, the exceptions themselves are not a problem, but could be indicative of a larger problem: poor performance causes people to hit STOP on their browsers and re-try requests. > We have also tried using WinXP host files and using an IP address to bypass > DNS altogether - no luck. Are you actually performing DNS lookups? Two things might be happening if DNS is really your problem: 1. Your DNS server is slow. Mitigations are a) get a faster/closer/extra DNS server or b) disable DNS lookups 2. Your DNS settings are misconfigured (e.g. wrong ip address, etc.). Check your DNS configuration. > Problem around 4:15PM - Jan 9, 2009: > http://10.97.24.23/Sales/IndentedATPServlet?partNum=086EXUCCCXMA&qty=1&warehouse=M What was the problem? > Problem around 5:05PM - Jan 9, 2009: > http://wsi/Qoe/index.jsp > (same thing....Page Cannot Be Displayed) Again... what was the problem?

This is why I was asking about connection pooling: it looks like Tomcat is murdering your DB. This could be due to too many connections to MySQL, overly high query volume, or sloppy code in your application leaking database resources. > We are currently using tcpdump on the server & Wireshark on the affected > clients to look at the packet level of my connections to the webserver.

Maybe you are just getting more peak traffic than your setup can handle. Have you performed any formal load testing? - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAklvYmUACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PClcQCeOid/7wFe7/JvwpQHUE96xYft bagAn1MC7Rz+At5JitXUA8R4GHO/8BMf =Lxrm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
