Hey, I've been having issues with member hosted sites. Especially during peak traffic, their site becomes slow, eventually to total inaccessibility. When I restart httpd, their sites go back to normal speed. But then slow down again within 2 minutes. So I pretty much have to restart httpd every 10-30 minutes to keep member sites from running. But today I found the real cause. As soon as I stopped MySQL, their sites immediately started working again, and never again slowed down, until I started MYSQL again. There's no load or memory change while sites slow down or are fast. There's no change in anything at all infact. All I know is MYSQL (I have v5 installed) is causing this to happen. But I really can't see how httpd and mysql can be related, and how can MYSQL do this to entire apache. Can anyone help me on this. What should I do to fix this? Thanks. Andre
