Re: v4.1.9 under W2K: 'favicon.ico' not found, crashes Apache?

[Margaret MacDonald]

I think I might have solved the problem, though I still don't really know where it was or what precisely was happening.

To increase performance, I'm caching the results of a complicated join query in my php session data (I'm storing the session data in a table, not the file system). It's still a disk read, but at least it's not also a lookup-and-sort.

My problem seems to have been that I had the data declared as type text, but was storing a block larger than 64K.

I don't know whether it was php, apache, or mysql getting confused by that, but increasing the declaration to mediumtext seems to have made the problem go away!
