Hello,

We are running CivicSpace 0.8.2 (DRUPAL 4.6.4), MySQL 4.1.15 and PHP 4.3.10.

Recently, our server has been going down regularly. Our remote host really does not have a specific reason for this but has mentioned that it appears that the server is using a lot of memory.

The error message that is generated when the server crashes is:

Warning: mysql_connect(): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'someservername' (61) in /some/file/path/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 31
Can't connect to MySQL server on 'someservername' (61)

I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this kind of problem while using CivicSpace/DRUPAL and, if so, what they did to correct it.

TIA,

Tricia Barden

What do you mean with server 'crashes'? Is the server with MySQL still running?

We had a couple of poorly coded Mac OS X widgets conduct DoS attacks on one of our boxes. MySQL did occasionally hang when this happened.

Have a look at usage statistics, number of pageviews when it happens etc.
