Apache::DBI experts: I have the following in my startup.pl:
use CGI qw(:all); use CGI::Carp 'fatalsToBrowser', 'carpout'; use List::Util 'shuffle'; CGI->compile(':all'); Apache::DBI->connect_on_init ("DBI:mysql:holidayshop", "dba", "theactualpw", { PrintError => 1, # warn() on errors RaiseError => 0, # don't die on error AutoCommit => 1, # commit executes immediately } ); $Apache::DBI::DEBUG = 0; 1; mysql> SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'wait_%'; +---------------+-------+ | Variable_name | Value | +---------------+-------+ | wait_timeout | 300 | (I have set this to 172800 as well, but it somehow doesn't stick) +---------------+-------+ 1 row in set (0.01 sec) mysql> SHOW global VARIABLES LIKE 'wait_%'; +---------------+--------+ | Variable_name | Value | +---------------+--------+ | wait_timeout | 172800 | +---------------+--------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) mysql> SHOW session VARIABLES LIKE 'wait_%'; +---------------+-------+ | Variable_name | Value | +---------------+-------+ | wait_timeout | 300 | (I have set this to 172800 as well, but it somehow doesn't stick) +---------------+-------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) I am load testing by sending about 300 page requests that utilize the database every minute or so for the period of an hour. Consistently I see about 6-8 occurrences of the following error in my Apache error log for the hour no matter what I seem to do: -e: DBI connect('holidayshop','dba',...) failed: Authentication plugin 'mysql_native_password' cannot be loaded: not initialized at /var/www/holidayshop/perl/validatephone.pl line 16. The actual line #16 in the code is: my $logdb = DBI->connect('DBI:mysql:holidayshop', 'dba', 'theactualpw'); Hundreds of thousands of connections occur either outright or out of cache without error and work just fine. The only problem is these 6-8 errors in the log. Can someone clue me in on what to do in order to try and eliminate any of the errors from happening when doing a load test like this?
