MySQL Locking - Server Hang

[jackiehms79]

Hi,

I am using:

1. PHP 4.3.1
2. MySQL 4.0.12
3. Apache 1.3.27
4. vBulletin Version 2.3.0

The Problem Is:

My servers load seems to be jumped abnormally until sometimes it hang. When I check on the processlist of mysql :

mysql>show processlist;

It shows there is more than 10 locking process on the same database.

How to set time out for database locking? or do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks

Not quite sure about the problem.

Normally, if you use php, there an automatic unlock at the end of the script. Maybe try Explicitely unlocking.

If you use the commandline you can use "UNLOCK TABLES"

did you check at mysql.com ?
