Multiple PHP processes with long processing time
« on: April 19, 2014, 05:12:45 pm »

Hi guys! I need some support from Dev team, as i don't clearly understand what's going on. From time to time i'm getting the error with mySQL simultaneous connection (limited at hoster for 30). Today i got the same, gallery worked quite instable. I request for hoster support and get following:

The problem is that your PHP processes never end and constantly emit database queries. The PHP processes finish after some time but this behaviour is not 'normal' - PHP processes should finish much, much faster and they should never be sending so much queries to the database. It appears that:
a. your PHP scripts (processes) run for much longer than they should (more than 4 minutes)
b. it seems the processes constantly run queries against the database
The fact that one process runs for more than 4 minutes means it is using a database connection for more than 4 minutes, these processes pile up and eventually cause the error message 'User 'mitko_photos' has exceeded the 'max_user_connections' resource (current value: 30)' you have observed.


In the logs they could see something like this

First, you need to update your Coppermine.
Quote
<!--Coppermine Photo Gallery 1.5.16 (stable)-->

Security fixes and DB query reductions are in the new version.
Note the top of this page.

News: cpg1.5.28 Security release - upgrade mandatory!

Then, look at the plugins/scripts you have installed on the home / main album List pages. They load very much slower than an image page.

Upgraded to latest version of coppermine, follow some instructions on different topics in order to improve performance. Overall the gallery became faster, but still have the database connection problems from time to time. As i'm not a very skilled in programming would be appreciate for step by step instructions for further troubleshooting of this issue.

One recommendation would be to turn on debug in the config (for admin at least) and then load the cpg main page. The debug data can be viewed at the bottom of the page (expand) - and will (among other things) list all queries... With each query - it will give the file, line number, and execution time (information your ISPs data doesn't have).
See where the most time is being spent - and perhaps we can help.
Copy/paste the long query(ies), file and line number, and time into this thread.

You didn't say how large your gallery is... There are some functions that will impact larger galleries if enabled - but again the long running querires should help us pinpoint where.

Hi Greg!
The gallery is around 10k photos, plus i use SMF bridging instead of the gallery users.
Debug from main page attached. The problem with connection appears not all the time, but few times per day.
If you need any info - just let me know. Thanks in advance.

It seems that you've added keywords to a lot of albums. Please read the docs what the album keyword feature is and how it works, as I'm quite sure you haven't done yet and can simply remove the album keyword(s) from a lot/all albums to improve your gallery performance.

Hi Andre!
Thanks very much, i was really not aware about this functionality, now it is cleared for me. All keywords removed, will inform about results.
Also could somebody please have a look at compatibility issue with Geo plugin in the another topik ? It was perfectly well with old version, but now seems it is not work at all, but all geo-tags in database are okay.

I expect the difference to be significant based on your debug...
An alternative would be to turn off config option 'Show number of linked coins' under album list view...  Could still have keywords - but it won't attempt to count them.

Many long running queries trying to count linked files (line 1000 of index.php).
Code: [Select]
"SELECT count(pid) AS link_pic_count, max(pid) ... [index.php:1000] (1416.9 ms)"Each one of these scans the pictures table (per EXPLAIN) and with the LIKE criteria for keywords - isn't an indexable column.

I'd expect to see virtually all these numbers come down significantly:
Code: [Select]

Well, the result of all steps: site become much and much faster. Main page timing is better. But still from time to time get SQL access problem. I would say it is not so critical anymore, but I asked the hoster to provide SQL query analysis and made some typical operations on site. As the result you can see attached Slow.SQL file - slow SQL queries. Maybe it would help to developers in order to improve performance in future?
