Well, for the first time ever, a page on a site I run is being slashdotted.
MySQL was the only thing to go. It didn’t crash, it just ran out of connections since Apache was maxxing out at 150 and MySQL only had 30. I upped MySQL to allow 150 as well and everything seems to be holding up okay.
Lesson learned. I think.
Update (2003-11-13 10:03am): A link to the slashdot article on Gizmodo could mean even more traffic today
