Hi all, I am using freeradius 1.1.0. The backend is mysql 5.0.22 which is located on a different server on the same network. My configuration is as follows: I am doing some stress testing to benchmark my infrastructure. I use SIPp for the same. The SIPp sends the calls to cisco gateway, the cisco gateway sends the authentication request to freeradius server. The radius server queries the mysql database and once the authentication is successful and the call is completed; the accounting request is also passed to the radius server by cisco which in turn is sent to the mysql database. Now I kept the SIPp at rate of 45 calls per second, but after say 10 to 15 minutes the radius server dies. This is the message I could see in the log: rlm_sql (sql): There are no DB handles to use! skipped 0, tried to connect 0 Error: rlm_sql_mysql: MYSQL Error: Cannot get result Fri Jul 7 14:18:46 2006 : Error: rlm_sql_mysql: MYSQL Error: Fri Jul 7 14:18:46 2006 : Error: rlm_sql_mysql: MYSQL Error: No Fields Fri Jul 7 14:18:46 2006 : Error: rlm_sql_mysql: MYSQL error: Fri Jul 7 14:18:46 2006 : Info: rlm_sql_mysql: Starting connect to MySQL server for #4 Fri Jul 7 14:18:46 2006 : Error: rlm_sql (sql): failed after re-connect. I tried googling the archive but could not get a proper solution. One more thing; I had configured rlm_mysql using the following command: ./configure --without-thread. Could this be a cause of some problem, I did this as the radius was not finding mysql libraries. Can someone please help on this. Thanks in advance. w/regards, Jayesh Nambiar
