We are having problems with a MySQL database. Maybe some else
can figure out what is going on. We are seeing two errors in
our logs very often:
000316 13:54:11 Aborted connection 74 to db: 'database' user: 'user' (Got an
error reading communication packets)
and
000316 17:11:06 Aborted connection 1415 to db: 'database' user: 'user' (Got
timeout reading communication packets)
The are almost 4000 entries in our error log in one month. 500 yesterday alone.
The database server is being used to drive a web site. Sometimes when the
web server is restarted it blocks waiting for the database connections
to come up. Restarting the database server seems to solve the problem.
The database server is running under Solaris 7 x86 using MySQL version
3.23.12c-alpha-log. Connections are via TCP. The web server is using
clent libraries version 3.23.8-alpha.
