CentOS

I am running Centos 5.6 on a VPS, with MySQL 5.0.77, and while on this new VPS host, the MySQL just stops out of now where. It actually looks like it shuts down normally.

I look at the security logs, and it looks like there is constant attacks, but I can't tell if anyone is getting in.

The MySQL log looks like this

Do you have any hints for me? I am at a loss as to what to look for. Why would I get the normal shutdown all the time?

Hi

How much disk space have you got?

I got the same issue. I found out there are 2 MySQL architectures running on this server and I removed the 32 bit one.

rpm -e mysql-5.0.95-1.el5_7.1.i386

It's working well currently. Hope this would help.


Server configuration:
* CentOS 5.7 64 bit
* MySQL 5.0.95

Hi,

You said that you are running to instances of MYSQL versions in your server.

If you are getting the same problem even maintaining the single version of MYSQL in your server. Follow the below.

It might be also the problem with the connections that are receiving by the mysql.



Procedure : 1 (Without restarting the mysqld service)

To find out how many max_connections are allowed currently on your mysql server use following command from mysql prompt.

mysql> select @@max_connections;
+-------------------+
| @@max_connections |
+-------------------+
| 100 |
+-------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

max_connections is a GLOBAL variable. we can increase it on the fly without restarting mysqld service.
To do so use following command.

mysql> set global max_connections = 200;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

Now, If you check again you will see that limit of max_connections is increased.

mysql> select @@max_connections;
+-------------------+
| @@max_connections |
+-------------------+
| 200 |
+-------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)



Procedure : 2 (restart the mysqld service)


It was the /etc/my.cnf file. I added this line under [mysqld]:

max_connections=100 (Extend as per your requirement. Max limit 10000 connections if the server configuration is high)

Please don't resurrect ancient threads!

It is highly unlikely that exceeding max_connections would cause mysql to stop running. If you exceed max_connections you get an error message when you try to connect telling you that it failed due to too many connections. You don't get connection refused.
