Hi, first: please excuse my terrible english ... i'm from germany :-) second: I don't know, whether this is a bug nor whats wrong. Sometimes we got the following error-message: PostgresSQL query failed: FATAL 1: Socket command type 2 unknown pqReadData() -- backend closed the channel unexpectedly. This probably means the backend terminated abnormally before or while processing the request We have PHP3-Scripts on our Webserver. They make connections to the Postgres-DB. The Scripts are working ok, but sometimes (and ONLY sometimes ...) they produces the error. We dont know, what goes wrong here or what's the meaning from this the error-message. Machine: Intel PII-266, 288 MB RAM Operating System: Linux 2.2.16 Apache-Version: 1.3.12 PHP-Version: 3.0.16 PostgreSQL: Allow persistent links:Yes Persistent links: 0/Unlimited Total links:0/Unlimited Compilation definitions: PGSQL_INCLUDE= PGSQL_LFLAGS= PGSQL_LIBS= PSQL-Version: 7.0.2 Advanced Thanks for any help.
