Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Don't we want to find someone who's willing to work with us to figure out a cure?

But how do we determine that ahead of time? At least with Dreamhost, one wouldn't get shut down, which is a step ahead of many options with unfriendly host configurations.

why would they want to tweak their end to prevent the problems we're currently having?

See, I'm cynical in a different way. I think the chances of any host tweaking their servers, that other accounts reside on, for us is slim to none.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

But how do we determine that ahead of time?

I dunno? Ask them? I'm just thinking out loud here. There doesn't seem to be an easy answer.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm not sure, if we're warning them up front that we're a risk to their other customers, what their motivation is.

As for the test:

I was not able to open two mysql connections to our database immediately after the board shut down, and then at 5, 10, and 15 minutes. Once I closed the first commandline client down, I could open the other one.

Rob, Tom, I have the db_status from them.

Kristen, I know there's nothing they'll do for us now, so you might want to mention this to them as free feedback. If their connection closing timeout is longer than fifteen minutes, I doubt it's a good use of their resources.

I'd like to see the db_status. If nothing else, it will let me calculate about how much we'd spend for MySQL connections via dreamhost.

Insent, Rob.

Also to Tom.

db_status tells us we do 6.84 MySQL connections per second. At that rate, we'd spend $2091.16 a month on extra conueries at Dreamhost.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

See, I just don't see how that could be possible, with the number of members posting.

Am I nuts?

Rob - Oct 21, 2003 8:27:23 pm PDT #5422 of 10000

I can see it being true, since at the request of IH we put in explicit closes for each MySQL connection. Each page can open and close a number of connections. In my testing on my machine, I'd see four or five connections opened and closed per message center view.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I don't know what kind of tweaking went on while I was asleep, but I haven't had a single error message since I came back here around 2:45 a.m. EST.
