Can I suggest a nice Linux build? -----Original Message----- From: Charles R.

OTRS with Win2k and MySQL is a pipe dream. Every time I get one issue resolved, another pops up. Developers will be pleased to know none of it involves them! I found there is a problem on Windows 2k involving Apache and MySQL which will render OTRS (or any MySQL app, such as phpmyadmin) unusable and require Apache hard restarts on an almost continual basis. The problem is not OTRS related, it involves the interaction between Apache and MySQL. Essentially Apache spawns MySQL processes which go to sleep and never wake back up. This causes perl/php apps to hang waiting for data from the DB and make the interface appear to do nothing while your little IE globe spins away. The problem actually appears to be known for some time and no resolution has been produced. I'm now looking at a different server and/or porting to MsSQL or similar. Postgresql on Windows is Alpha1 and that is just unacceptable for a live system here.
