Hi shyamsundarn,
Can you give us a bit more information here? Specifically:
- Size of the droplet
- The output of your mysql logs and/or output of dmesg & /var/log/messages
From here, we can hopefully help narrow down the issue. It could be that mysql is crashing/being killed off by OOMkiller, but without that information, it’ll be difficult to answer why this is happening.
As a sidenote, rather than going through the trouble of restarting the droplet, you may want to see if mysql is running:
service mysql status
And/or
netstat -ntlp | grep :3306
If it’s not, you should just be able to start it back up using
service mysql start
