From: m4dc4p Date: 2005-12-14T02:12:38+09:00 Subject: Re: Rails crashes over night? I had a similar problem under Apache and FastCGI. The MySQL connection would time out after a few hours of inactivity, but Rails would not let go of it. The next time I tried to hit a page, I would get an error like yours. I fixed it by increasing the MySQL timeout and by decreasing the amount of time the FastCGI processes hang around. Hope that helps!
