too many connections???

[jammy3]

Recently I've had trouble connecting to Abyss. Restarting Abyss resolves the problem. The issue seems to be between Abyss, Mysql and a new php survey "app" that I have running.

Here is a small netstat -b result (there are MANY, MANY connections)

TCP p4-server:1251 localhost:3306 ESTABLISHED 3716
[abyssws.exe]

TCP p4-server:1257 localhost:3306 ESTABLISHED 3716
[abyssws.exe]

TCP p4-server:1261 localhost:3306 ESTABLISHED 3716
[abyssws.exe]

TCP p4-server:1267 localhost:3306 ESTABLISHED 3716
[abyssws.exe]

TCP p4-server:1273 localhost:3306 ESTABLISHED 3716
[abyssws.exe]

TCP p4-server:1279 localhost:3306 ESTABLISHED 3716
[abyssws.exe]

TCP p4-server:1285 localhost:3306 ESTABLISHED 3716
[abyssws.exe]

TCP p4-server:1291 localhost:3306 ESTABLISHED 3716
[abyssws.exe]

This tells me that Abyss is connecting to mysql on port 3306 (normal) but not ever closing the connection.

Is there a bad config on my part somewhere? A fix available? Any other idea?

Thanks.

The script probably forgot to use a mysql_close() (i think its that command off the top of my head) so the connection doesn't close until it times out.

If its not causing any problems, I wouldn't worry about it since its not a particularly high number of connections. I'd get worried when its 20-30 or more connections not being closed.

Well, hopefully this log will post.

I run abyss restarter, so this is less than 24 hours. As you can see, almost all connections are from either abyss, mysql or the helix server.

I think this fits into the excessive category??? :-)

I wouldn't be surprised if one poster was correct about php software not closing the connections. Is it possible to force connections to time-out?

Thanks.

There might be an option in the php.ini or the my.ini file. I can't be sure but it would be worth taking a look.

Ive turned off phpBBs automatically using persistent connections, so hopefully that will help this error a bit.. Ive noticed it on the front-page of the site since were now using a database-driven system there too though.

If you are running the Abyss on Windows, this is a known phenomenon. And it has nothing to do with the abyss itself.

Windows will temporarily assign a port if you connect through tcp. Also for MySQL connections. However, closing the connection will not close the connection windows. From the manual: there are 4000 ports available and it takes 4 minutes before a port is closed again. So if you open a lot of connections, you can run into problems.
