Connection issue with diffrent database machine

hi

i’'m facing some problem when connecting to diffrent database machine. sometimes i can connect to wildfire, and sometime cannot. i think my configuration during the setup database have no problem, because i can register a new user. after idle for a while. user cannot login again. and on my admin database page have this error :

OS/Dist: RedHat Enterprise Linux 3 (U7)

MySQL: 4.0.20

Fresh installation.

my connection to database : jdbc:mysql://192.156.56:3306/JABBERDB

JDBC Driver: MySQL-AB JDBC Driver

Not sure what else to say. ;D Plenty of memory, disk space, processing power, that sort of stuff.

can anyone plz help…

Hi,

do you have a firewall between both servers which is closing more or less active connections? Or which limits the maximum connection life time?

LG

this is my problem to… did you get a solution?

thanks,

I had a quick look on mySql forums, and it seems this is a fairly frequent issue, heres a link with a similiar problem.

Perhaps its time to try another database driver or upgrade the driver if possible!

Not much good I know, but I wonder if its really a Wildfire specific issue. Anyways it might be worth a more detailed look on the mysql site.

Hi Conor,

it really seems to be a common MySQL problem. I did post a link to a possible solution in http://www.jivesoftware.org/community/thread.jspa?threadID=20017 but this requires building the driver from source.

I wonder if you want to patch your MySQL 3.1.12 driver as described in:

http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=14938 and http://lists.mysql.com/commits/1884

Maybe the 5.0.0-beta driver solves this problem.

Both options should be tested on a test server and not in production.

LG

Some changes on the mysql forum really helped:

http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?39,16257,90746#msg-90746

suggests changing my.cnf

wait_timeout=500

and ?autoReconnect=true to the JDBC driver url

Now I’'m only having an issue about 1% of the time, much better than 50%

Thanks,
