I have been repeatedly facing the issues with mysql on my server recently. I have tried changing "wait_timeout" , "connect_timeout" and several options which I found using google. Are there any methods / tools that I can use to debug these issues. I tried looking at connections, max_connections.

Any ideas would be great, I am accessing the mysql server using a Background PHP job, which accesses the mysql server every 5 seconds.

What are your current settings for max_allowed_packet, read_buffer_size, and read_rnd_buffer_size ? – RolandoMySQLDBA Jun 9 '12 at 20:04

Try increasing max_allowed_packet size you may get rid of these errors. Please refer these links may be helpful in debugging this issue:

Thanks, already looked at those, not getting Error 2020 (CR_NET_PACKET_TOO_LARGE) , just getting Error 2006, mysql server has gone away. – Rishav Rastogi Jun 9 '12 at 9:00
If your server gets restarted after this error then You can refer this mysql.rjweb.org/doc.php/memory also there are so many issues related to this which are in MySQL forum which remained unanswered :-( – Mahesh Patil Jun 9 '12 at 10:55
I just changed the connect_timeout in mysql and socket_timeout in php, will continue to monitor. The issue is the site continues to work fine with the same mysql server, while the background job fails continously, I suspect its related to multiple child threads having stale connections to mysql.Thanks for that link though, much appreciated. – Rishav Rastogi Jun 9 '12 at 12:59
