note 37938 deleted from features.persistent-connections by googleguy

Note Submitter: web at nickSPAMrabinowitz dot com ---- This may only pertain to Apache/MySQL: After several hours of wrestling with MySQL "Access denied" messages, I determined that persistent database connections don't necessarily reflect subsequent privilege changes. I loaded a PHP script attempting a LOAD DATA statement, and got an "Access denied" error. I granted FILE privileges to the MySQL user, and was able to run LOAD DATA statements from the terminal, but still got "Access denied" from my PHP pages. When I switched from mysql_pconnect() to mysql_connect(), the problem went away; eventually I restarted apache to kill the persistent connection and switched back to mysql_pconnect(), and now everything works fine.
