[rt-users] RT3 is spawning 2 additional processes every time something is done

[Frank Saxton]

I have been running RT3 for several months with no problems whatever.  The 
hard drive recently went bad on the server and I had to restore everything 
from tar files.  Not everything copied back automatically so my current 
problem could be nothing more than a missing file somewhere.

When I start mysqld, I have 4 /usr/libexec/mysqld --defaults-.... processes 
running

Every time I do something (log in, click a link, refresh the view), 2 more 
mysqld processes are started.  This continues until something around 14 
processes are running at which time the RT web connection dies.  Restarting 
mysqld will restore operation again (briefly).

I'm sure that this is going to be a simple fix but unfortunately I am not a 
DBA and I have very limited RT experience.  As near as I can see, 
everything else is working great.  RT3 worked perfectly before the disk 
problem. The dependencies test for mysql passes.  Any help would be hugely 
appreciated.  Thanks in advance!
