network share kills my server

Post by dajohnson1s »

Hello,

(Please move my post if there is a better location)

I have made ajax application to read a file (php) from a network share (linux to windows, windows has the file). Then it is displayed on a web page.

For about 4 months, we have been experiencing server troubles (mainly mysql keeps going down) and I have narrowed this to this application. I am polling the file every 10 seconds, then storing the values in mysql (for persistant data for time until the file is read again).

I am in search of a 'better' way of achieving the same result. Mainly so my other services aren't constantly being brought down.

Thanks
Daniel
