Hi all,
I’m having issues with the ‘error: 2006 MySQL server has gone away’ that is referenced often in these forums. Unfortunately, I’ve tried adjusting both values as advised in the FAQ @ How do I fix the error “Mysql Server has gone away”? - Analytics Platform - Matomo but neither seem to be addressing the issue.
I recently upgraded from 2.0.3 to 2.4.1 and added some segments so I dropped all the archive and blob tables and re-archived using “–force-all-websites --force-all-periods=315576000 --force-date-last-n=1000”. I ran this in a loop until the exit status was 0 which took 5 runs to achieve. After this, I tried just running the regularly scheduled archive run without the 3 force options but as you can see in the below results the issue persists.
I have tried increasing max_allowed_packet to as high as 100MB and wait_timeout was already set to the default of 8 hours which is nowhere near as long as this job is running so I don’t think it should be coming into play.
I also increased the innodb_buffer_pool_size which significantly reduced the amount of time it takes before the error is reached due to less disk I/O as more works is done in this RAM pool than on disk. Previously it would take ~25minutes to reach the error whereas now it takes ~10minutes.
It always seems to error out at roughly the same time - which is immediately after reporting being done with the monthly archives. I’m wondering if possibly it is trying to re-use a mysql connection it expects to be open but has in fact been closed?
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
