I got today thease errors:

Code:
Lost connection to MySQL server at 'sending authentication information', system error: 32 اليوم الساعة 1:37 مساءاً- /home/vbcom/public_html/community/library/Zend/Db/Adapter/Mysqli.php:333
 
 
Lost connection to MySQL server at 'sending password information', system error: 32 اليوم الساعة 1:34 مساءاً- library/Zend/Db/Adapter/Mysqli.php:333
 
 
Lost connection to MySQL server at 'sending authentication information', system error: 32 اليوم الساعة 12:04 مساءاً- /home/vbcom/public_html/community/library/Zend/Db/Adapter/Mysqli.php:333
 
 
Lost connection to MySQL server at 'sending password information', system error: 32 اليوم الساعة 12:04 مساءاً- library/Zend/Db/Adapter/Mysqli.php:333

and it happen the server load hit the sky around 40 at the smae timing of those errors, and i had to restart server mysql to make the site accesseble again

any hint to analyse that?
 
That error is caused by one of these MySQL settings:

wait_timeout
max_allowed_packet


If you don't manage your own server then you need to ask your host or server person to increase these settings.
 
Try increasing those settings.

If the connection isn't being closed as a result of those settings then maybe the server itself is crashing or is being restarted. Check the uptime on the MySQL server.
 
again, i had this issue 2 days ao and today also

today,once it started to happen i took screen shot of top command

highload.webp

since the server is not using any swap memory then the server dosnt need any ram increase.

i also checked to top proccwss from WHM

WHM.webp

i checked the thread number of 306882 and its only 3 posts thread and its 3 months old, why would it cause 64% of CPU use?


i checked also tuning-primer.sh for my server and i got this:


Code:
[root@host ~]# sh tuning-primer.sh

SLOW QUERIES
 
The slow query log is enabled.
 
Current long_query_time = 3 sec.
 
You have 209 out of 7409771 that take longer than 3 sec. to complete
 
Your long_query_time seems to be fine
 
 
 
BINARY UPDATE LOG
 
The binary update log is NOT enabled.
 
You will not be able to do point in time recovery
 
See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/point-in-time-recovery.html
 
 
 
WORKER THREADS
 
Current thread_cache_size = 256
 
Current threads_cached = 41
 
Current threads_per_sec = 0
 
Historic threads_per_sec = 0
 
Your thread_cache_size is fine
 
 
 
MAX CONNECTIONS
 
Current max_connections = 500
 
Current threads_connected = 3
 
Historic max_used_connections = 42
 
The number of used connections is 8% of the configured maximum.
 
You are using less than 10% of your configured max_connections.
 
Lowering max_connections could help to avoid an over-allocation of memory
 
See "MEMORY USAGE" section to make sure you are not over-allocating
 
 
 
No InnoDB Support Enabled!
 
 
 
MEMORY USAGE
 
Max Memory Ever Allocated : 361 M
 
Configured Max Per-thread Buffers : 2.41 G
 
Configured Max Global Buffers : 154 M
 
Configured Max Memory Limit : 2.56 G
 
Physical Memory : 3.90 G
 
Max memory limit seem to be within acceptable norms
 
 
 
KEY BUFFER
 
Current MyISAM index space = 3.78 G
 
Current key_buffer_size = 80 M
 
Key cache miss rate is 1 : 309
 
Key buffer free ratio = 0 %
 
You could increase key_buffer_size
 
It is safe to raise this up to 1/4 of total system memory;
 
assuming this is a dedicated database server.
 
 
 
QUERY CACHE
 
Query cache is enabled
 
Current query_cache_size = 64 M
 
Current query_cache_used = 48 M
 
Current query_cache_limit = 4 M
 
Current Query cache Memory fill ratio = 75.67 %
 
Current query_cache_min_res_unit = 4 K
 
MySQL won't cache query results that are larger than query_cache_limit in size
 
 
 
SORT OPERATIONS
 
Current sort_buffer_size = 2 M
 
Current read_rnd_buffer_size = 768 K
 
Sort buffer seems to be fine
 
 
 
JOINS
 
Current join_buffer_size = 1.00 M
 
You have had 55 queries where a join could not use an index properly
 
You should enable "log-queries-not-using-indexes"
 
Then look for non indexed joins in the slow query log.
 
If you are unable to optimize your queries you may want to increase your
 
join_buffer_size to accommodate larger joins in one pass.
 
 
 
Note! This script will still suggest raising the join_buffer_size when
 
ANY joins not using indexes are found.
 
 
 
OPEN FILES LIMIT
 
Current open_files_limit = 5510 files
 
The open_files_limit should typically be set to at least 2x-3x
 
that of table_cache if you have heavy MyISAM usage.
 
Your open_files_limit value seems to be fine
 
 
 
TABLE CACHE
 
Current table_cache value = 2500 tables
 
You have a total of 386 tables
 
You have 486 open tables.
 
The table_cache value seems to be fine
 
 
 
TEMP TABLES
 
Current max_heap_table_size = 64 M
 
Current tmp_table_size = 64 M
 
Of 2442 temp tables, 41% were created on disk
 
Perhaps you should increase your tmp_table_size and/or max_heap_table_size
 
to reduce the number of disk-based temporary tables
 
Note! BLOB and TEXT columns are not allow in memory tables.
 
If you are using these columns raising these values might not impact your
 
ratio of on disk temp tables.
 
 
 
TABLE SCANS
 
Current read_buffer_size = 1 M
 
Current table scan ratio = 35 : 1
 
read_buffer_size seems to be fine
 
 
 
TABLE LOCKING
 
Current Lock Wait ratio = 1 : 7120
 
Your table locking seems to be fine

any comments?
 
No InnoDB Support Enabled!

XenForo uses InnoDB. I don't know if this is related to the original error though.

MySQL is also using a lot of CPU. You may want to check your MySQL processlist. Run this shell command to connect to mysql:

mysql -umysqluser -pmysqlpass

That will take you to the mysql prompt. Then run this query in the mysql prompt:

SHOW PROCESSLIST;
 
Current max_connections = 500
Current threads_connected = 3
Historic max_used_connections = 42

Do you really need 500 connections? I would lower this to e.g. 200 and see if it fits. This conserves memory.

No InnoDB Support Enabled!

Why that? Xenforo uses InnoDB for most of its tables???

Current key_buffer_size = 80 M

Try doubling this. And what says your slow-query log?

But you really should hire someone trying to optimize your settings....
 
yes my.cnf was optimised for vbulletin 3.x and InnoDB was disabled as suggested by eva2000 the expert of server configurations in vBulletin forums. I enabled now InnoDB and increased key_buffer to 160M

before adding thease varaibles to my.cnf i want to make sure if there are ok or need to be changed to another values:
Code:
innodb_log_buffer_size = 8M
innodb_log_file_size = 32M
innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit = 2
innodb_flush_method = O_DIRECT
innodb_thread_concurrency = 8
innodb_additional_mem_pool_size = 8M
innodb_buffer_pool_size = 2200M
innodb_fast_shutdown = 0

what command line i should run to get the wanted values from slow-query log ?
 
hello Jake
i have no idea about scripts modifications, i will go to converting manually option, thanks anyway

for the sake of priority, which are the most important tables i should convert to innodb right now and leave the others for later?
 
PHP:
<?php
$db = mysql_connect('localhost','myuser_mydbuser','mypassword');
if(!$db) echo "Cannot connect to the database - incorrect details";
mysql_select_db('myuser_mydbname');
$result=mysql_query('show tables');
$tables_to_ignore = array('xf_import_log','xf_search_index','xf_session','xf_session_adminxf_attachment_view','xf_session_activity','xf_thread_view');
while($tables = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
    foreach ($tables as $key => $value) {
        if(!in_array($value, $tables_to_ignore)){
            mysql_query("ALTER TABLE $value ENGINE=innodb");
        }
    }
}
echo "Your database tables have been changed to innodb!";
?>

These are only ones that shouldn't be innodb. I haven't tested this so you'll want to run this on TEST db first. Seriously on a TEST DB first.

Just for the record, there is a mistake in this query in the list of tables to ignore. It should be:

PHP:
$tables_to_ignore = array('xf_import_log','xf_search_index','xf_session','xf_session_admin','xf_attachment_view','xf_session_activity','xf_thread_view');

If you've previously ran this script, you'll need to change xf_attachment_view to memory and xf_session_admin to MyISAM:

Code:
alter table xf_attachment_view ENGINE=memory;
alter table xf_session_admin ENGINE=MyISAM;
