Server slowdown, too many MySQL sessions

[aerowood]

I?m suffering some complaints from our system admin due to server stress and too many resources being used at the same time, particularly calls to MySQL. That's with only one user and 20 products.

 

I?m not a great programmer and I?m collecting details and implementing other measures I?ve researched in OSCommerce community forums, but one thing I noticed:

 

When I search the OSC code (based on tep_snapshot-20021115 with some recent mods) I can?t locate a call to the tep_db_close() function anywhere other than the function definition in the database.php files. Is this normal? Shouldn?t the function be being used, or even called regularly.

 

Sorry if this problem / request seems naive.

 

Also, where is appropriate to post suspected bug reports?

 

And where / how is the best place to search recent daily snapshot updates (sourceforge?)

 

Thank you!

have you been able to identify where the tep_db_close() function has been removed in reference to older versions using a diff program? Maybe the function can be reinserted?

I haven't yet, I checked back to our first install version and it wasn't there either. My first questions are IS IT BEING USED in current CVS and WHERE should it be?
