[solved] Retry with new instance.

[IanD]

That would be ideal.

I see now it's not so much the 'retrying' that is the problem, because even if LiteSpeed didn't retry the process - the process would have stopped at the connection timeout.

If Retry Timeout (secs) worked as well though, that would be great.

Because at times mysql is under too much pressure and normal queries can back up fast. If LiteSpeed is then retrying these scripts (which run these queries) things just melt down quicker.. This might just be unique to me though and yes, I need upgrade / work on the server!

I've been using LiteSpeed since October 2010 - would this be classed as old?

I've got:

Found LiteSpeed php binary at /usr/local/lsws/fcgi-bin/lsphp5. Version is 5.3.2

If you use latest LSAPI, and set "LSAPI_ACCEPT_NOTIFY" environment variable for lsphp external app, should remove it.

Not 100% sure what you mean here, I've got:

PHP_LSAPI_MAX_REQUESTS=500
PHP_LSAPI_CHILDREN=35

currently in my Environment. Do I add something like:

PHP_LSAPI_MAX_REQUESTS=500
PHP_LSAPI_CHILDREN=35
LSAPI_ACCEPT_NOTIFY = 1

Many thanks for your help.
