mysql not respecting wait_timeout setting in my.cnf
问题 I've set a wait_timeout in my.cnf and restarted the server, but the time on idle connections continues to grow larger than the default 100s I set. Any ideas why this is happening? PS: I'm running ubuntu 12.04 and Mysql Server 5.5. Using Rails 3 with the mysql2 gem. mysql> SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PROCESSLIST ORDER BY TIME DESC LIMIT 20; +------+------------------+-------------------------------------+--------------------------+---------+------+-------+------+ | ID | USER | HOST | DB |
