I really aren’t sure why but my interpreter continues to fail after an unknown amount of requests or time on my local (home) computer. I’ve tried following instructions from people who have encountered similar problems with no success. Is it necessary for me to provide you with version details for Ruby, Rails and MySQL? Does anyone know of this problem, or, better still, a way to solve it? ---

I think some details of the problem seen would be useful. What do you mean by ‘my interpreter continues to fail’? What is the symptom? Is there anything in the log that gives clues? Versions of rails etc and which OS may be useful. Colin ---

Googling for the error string found numerous hits suggesting that this is a problem with MySQL version 5.1 on Vista, and reverting to 5.0 fixed it. Are you on 5.1? Colin ---

This occurs when script/server is running. I’ve tried upgrading my version of Ruby to a more recent version, such as 1.9.1 and downgrading my version of Ruby to an older version. My Rails version is 2.3.5 and I’m running Vista HP 32bit on my development computer. ---
