I think this is an issue in code somewhere, but the code's so simple I'm not sure what it could be.
I've verified wait_timeout is high enough and have gone through everything here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/gone-away.html without any success.
This happens reproducibly on the second query executed in one script run so I'm sure it's a coding error.
I created a really simple wrapper around the PDO class to have a singleton database handle:
<?php
class PDOWrapper
{
protected static $instance;
protected $dbh;
function __construct()
{
if ( is_null(static::$instance) )
{
static::$instance = $this;
$this->connect_to_db();
}
}
static function instance()
{
if ( is_null(static::$instance) )
{
new static;
}
return static::$instance;
}
private function connect_to_db()
{
$db_info = array(
0 => array(
'hostname' => "Host",
'username' => "User",
'password' => "Pass",
'db' => "DB",
)
);
//Try to connect to the database
try
{
$dbh = new PDO('mysql:host=' . $db_info[0]['hostname'] . ';dbname=' . $db_info[0]['db'], $db_info[0]['username'], $db_info[0]['password'], array( PDO::ATTR_PERSISTENT => true, PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE => PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION, PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES => true ));
}
catch (PDOException $e)
{
log_message("Error connecting to DB!: " . $e->getMessage(), LOG_LEVEL_CRITICAL );
return false;
}
$this->dbh = $dbh;
}
public static function get_dbh()
{
if ( is_null(static::$instance) )
{
new static;
}
return static::$instance->dbh;
}
}
I then use the wrapper like so:
function somefunc(){
$dbh = PDOWrapper::get_dbh();
$future_sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT * FROM some_table");
$future_sth->execute();
$ret = $future_sth->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
print_r($ret);
$future_sth->closeCursor();
return $ret;
}
I call this function repeatedly as part of an event loop. The first time it calls it, the print_r runs fine and it prints out the rows I expect to see.
After the function has been executed once, however, I get the following:
Warning: Error while sending QUERY packet. PID=92871
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'PDOException' with message 'SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 2006 MySQL server has gone away'
I don't know why it'd have "gone away". My my.cnf looks ok. Wait timeout is massive and this happens immediately as soon as I run the second query anyway. Any ideas?
It doesn't look like anything is obviously wrong in the MySQL error log:
