high number of aborted connections

[jimlongo]

Hi, I wonder if anyone would be so kind to offer any advice.

This has just started happening in the last week or so without any new applications that I can point to.
The number of aborted clients and connections has become very high. Since I flushed the STATUS yesterday there are over 300 (20%) aborted clients and 1.1k aborted connections.

This is not a super busy server (I don't think) about 30 dbs most with pretty low traffic. Drupal, wordpress, eCommerce, phplist.

The mysql server is currently using about 40% of available memory.
7736 mysql 18 0 983m 425m 8352 S 0.0 41.6 1:01.78 /usr/sbin/mysqld --basedir=/usr --datad


When I had the general log enabled I couldn't see any reference to dropped connections or clients, also nothing in the error.log

I've been tuning my.cnf over the last month or so and i'm wondering if I've set something that is causing this?

here is the most recent mysqltuner report.

Found that the aborted connections where coming from the stats collection in CSF.
The user password for 'root' was not recognized from /root/.my.cnf since I had changed 'pass' to 'password'
Supplying the password cleared that up.

Why password is not recognized is another issue.

Thanks.
