Hello, been having this problem for a few days now.
As of late, I started up the SQL service. Could connect to DB's fine and dandy. Then (here's the random part), within a 5 minutes - 3 hours time-frame. It will suddenly, stop. No reason...I've tried it on a different port. (3336) to see if it was a port collision error. It still randomly shut down on the new port.
I then got to thinking it could be just overflowing...it is being sent around
I would of checked in the mySQL logs...but I haven't a clue where that is...
Also is there a way to increase the amount of queries an such a second? I checked in the many config files and it mentions "These are the standard settings for a small server".
What I require is something a little more demanding than 1 query a second...
I've come to the conclusion the SQL must be overflowing. Since I've left it on, with nothing connected to it, over night and it didn't randomly shut down, until I started up the program that needs the SQL database, in which the SQL shutdown 30 minutes later.
Never had this problem until last week. But I have put a greater strain on the SQL since then...
