Regularly I got the following message in syslog file: “Out of memory: Kill process 837 (mysqld) score 59 or sacrifice child”.
This is really annoying.
I already created a swapfile using this tutorial “https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-add-swap-on-ubuntu-12-04” but I still get error.
Could you please tell me how to fix this issue?
My droplet is a $5 one with 512Mb RAM. THe distro is Ubuntu 13.04 x64.
(the funny thing is that default mysql configuration worked perfectly on my previous server (VPS Gandi with only 256Mb RAM)

After a bit of digging with information from crash logs and internal mail, I came across this: http://www.porotal.org/fixing-daily-cron-db-update-failed-database-locked-error-in-ubuntu/
Facing the same issue :/
@digitalocean are you going to help your clients or just keep ignoring them ?!
Follow the swap tutorial. It solved it for me. I have the 5$ droplet and it works fine now :)
