Hi, I have an interesting (a.k.a. frustrating) problem on MySQL 4.1.11.
I try to connect to the database via DBD::mysql. Everything works - except in a few cases (once in every 10000 occasions, approximately) I get: DBI connect('database=test:host=192.168.0.200','test',...) failed: Can't connect to MySQL server on '192.168.0.200' (99) at con.pl line 14 perror 99 gives me: OS error code 99: Cannot assign requested address This doesn't make sense to me. I wrote a test script that looks like this: for (1..50000) { $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn, $user, $password, {'RaiseError' => 1} ); my $sth = $dbh->prepare('SELECT * FROM users'); } Periodically I get the above error. I have tried to be more nice, after upgrading DBD and DBI, etc.: for (1..50000) { $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn, $user, $password, {'RaiseError' => 1} ); my $sth = $dbh->prepare('SELECT * FROM users'); $sth = undef; $dbh->disconnect; $dbh = undef; } But the same happens. Then I straced the program. This is what I got: restart_syscall(<... resuming interrupted call ...>) = 0 time(NULL) = 1170758829 socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 3 fcntl64(3, F_SETFL, O_RDONLY) = 0 fcntl64(3, F_GETFL) = 0x2 (flags O_RDWR) connect(3, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(3306), sin_addr=inet_addr("192.168.0.200")}, 16) = -1 EADDRNOTAVAIL (Cannot assign requested address) shutdown(3, 2 /* send and receive */) = -1 ENOTCONN (Transport endpoint is not connected) close(3) = 0 write(1, "Doesn\'t work.
