May I revive this topic. My mysql service kept stopping and showing this error to end user
this command show nothing
using the lowest DO droplet specs
Please help
Thanks for the help. Just waiting for it to stop again now so that I can check the logs. Things never break when you want them to lol <br>
@paul: Error logs are usually found in /var/log. On Ubuntu, MySQL’s error log is /var/log/mysql.err <br> <br>You can output the last few lines of that file using the ‘tail’ command: <br> <br>tail /var/log/mysql.err
