Within the next week.


Main two goals will be all 2k bases to n>=300K and bases with <= 8 k's remaining to n>=200K. There will also be number of primes goals and goals for conjectures with < 3000-4000 k's remaining at n=2500 to test them to n=10K or something like that.

The NPLB and CRUS PRPnet servers are down and have been for over 12 hours.

It is not a computer issue. The NPLB and CRUS web pages are OK and I am able to update them.

I am getting a MySQL error that I am unable to fix when I try to start a PRPnet server. It is:
Connect to database failed: [MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver]Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2), native code=2002

It is an old Linux machine.

I have tried stopping and restarting MySQL with:
sudo service mysql stop
sudo service mysql start

The stop works fine. When it tries to start it fails with:
* Starting MySQL database server mysqld [ OK ]
* Checking for corrupt, not cleanly closed and upgrade needing tables.
gary@jeepford:~$ ERROR 2013 (HY000) at line 2: Lost connection to MySQL server during query

I have shut down the machine and restarted several times. A few times the PRPnet servers would run for awhile and then shut down. Other times they would not run at all.

I would appreciate any help.

Your database is corrupt.

Since i dont have any experiences with MySQL i decided to ask a friend of mine, and he has some ideas


First thing, config file. (which should be etc/my.cnf)

It should be looking like this

[CODE][mysqld]
max_allowed_packet = 16M
net_read_timeout = 30
net_write_timeout = 60
...
[mysqldump]
max_allowed_packet = 16M[/CODE]


Then the log could give more details, so please upload the log.


systemctl restart mysqld
tail -f /var/log/syslog


Plus check the Port 3306



netstat -tulpn | grep 3306


Attach the results please:)

Discussion continuing in NPLB News thread.

The PRPnet servers are back up! :smile:

I am out of town until March 4th. The pages will be updated after that.

To all,

I was informed today that our long-time contributor, Ian Gunn, aka MyDogBuster, died last week. :sad:

Ian had been a loyal follower and contributor of both NPLB and CRUS since their inception over 12 years ago.

His humor and helpful nature on the projects will be sorely missed.

Sincerely,
Gary Barnes

May Ian rest in peace :cry: ... There is no better words than those by Gary, to describe how I and most likely also everyone else who has worked briefly or mainly with Ian, felt about and experienced Ian :smile:

RIP :cry:
He has contributed heavily to both CRUS and NPLB over the years pushing on as long as the body allowed.
