Error establishing a database connection whit kernel BSD

Posted on April 23, 2016

I get: Error Establishing a database connection. Relaunch the console system. But after a series of swap errors prompt tells me: assocond-cconafi kernel: pid 830 (httpd), vid80 was killed. What does it mean? What can I do to fix it? This server behavior occurs now every day after a few hours of successful operation. Untenable situation.

You are running out of memory and swap space and the kernel OOM killer is killing the Mysqld process. Possible steps:

  • Use virt instance with more RAM.
  • Add more swap.
  • Reduce Mysql memory utilization in the config.
  • Remove additional services that might be running on the same host.

When you look at your apache logs (/var/log/httpd-access.log), do you see a bunch of requests hitting xmlrpc.php? I’ve seen this happen a ton of times when servers are under an XMLRPC pingback attack.
