[liphp] Big MySQL problem

[Christopher R. Merlo]

Well, I renamed my web directory and rebooted again.  MySQL is now
running perfectly normally.  I was able to get in and see all my
data.  The problem was probably some runaway query in one of my web
pages, since I just retooled my whole site and brought it live last
week.

When I found out what brought the DB to its knees, I will vow to die
with the secret.  OK, OK, I'll tell.  :)

Interestingly enough, the rest of the system behaved perfectly
normally.  I was able to read mail (obviously), take directories, and
all that stuff without any hassle.  Talk about crash-proof.

It is practically impossible to teach good programming style to students
that have had prior exposure to BASIC: as potential programmers they are
mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration.
