Eggdrop and MySQL problem

OnFire · Post by **OnFire** » Sun Apr 13, 2003 5:20 pm

Hi

I've recently been informed by the person who runs my shell that my eggdrop is causing the MySQL server to crash. I've got no idea why, I don't use any MySQL scripts or modules...anyone got any ideas?

Thanks

what modules/tcl have you loaded in your config file?
ask the shelladmin why he thinks your egg is causing it.

in my expirience, eggdrops dont touch mysql database's at their default state

Make sure your bot isn't using port 3306 to listen on.

Otherwise, you should ask why the admin think this, otherwise you are cluless.

I'm using the default modules and it's listening on port 3333...is it at all possible for a totally MySQL-unrelated script to cause the problem?

Yes. If a script or the bot decides to listen onthe same port as the MySQLd, then it would cause problems.

I would seriously speak to the amdin though. Lack of comunication on his part sugests he is blaming the first thing that comes into his head.

I t may likely be your bot is not at issue at all, but it would be handy for the admin to let you know why he thinks what he does, so that yourself and us can find out why this is happening.

For a admin to run a system intenvise deamon like MySQL on a shared server is stupid, and is a sure sign way of know the admin is likely cost cutting and not supporting his systems fully.
