[SR-Users] lost mysql connections

for some reason once in a while kamailio processes fail to execute mysql queries while at the same time an mysql test script that is run once per second from cron works fine. kamailio executes mysql queries during normal sip message processing and also when it processes an OPTIONS ping test request: sql_query("sip_proxy", "SELECT table_version FROM version WHERE table_name='domain'", "result"); if ($rc == 1) { sql_result_free("result"); options_reply(); } else { xlog("L_ERR", "$rm <$ru> failed sql test\n"); sql_result_free("result"); send_reply("500", "Server Internal Error"); }; here is an example: ...
