Since we upgraded to Rails 1.0 and lighty last week we’ve had the rails application crash daily with the following error in the production.log file: Errno::EPIPE (Broken pipe): /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/mysql.rb:1042:in `flush' /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/mysql.rb:1042:in`write’ /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/mysql.rb:462:in `write' /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/mysql.rb:436:in`command’ /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/mysql.rb:307:in `stat' /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.13.2/lib/active_record/conn ection_adapters/mysql_adapter.rb:147:in`active?’ I put the full stack dump at the end of this post. We are using MySQL 4.1. Any thoughts on what might be causing this?
