I moved my Quixote applications to a new Linux server and upgraded to MySQL 5, and suddenly now things hang up sometimes with 'MySQL server has gone away' exceptions. The MySQL manual suggests several possible reasons (timeout on client thread, large query size/result size, MySQL server restarting itself), but I was wondering whether anyone else is getting this in a Quixote context, especially with session2. Using Quixote 2.4, scgi 1.9, session2 0.6, Apache 2.0.54, MySQL 5.0.16, Linux Gentoo 2005.1. The MySQL server is responding fine; I just have to restart the Quixote application. But MySQL shows three idle connections from Quixote sleeping. Is something in Quixote or session2 using persistent connections? -- Mike Orr(mso@oz.net address is semi-reliable)
