    How To Add Swap on Ubuntu 14.04
    by Justin Ellingwood
    Swap space can be used as an "overflow" area for your system when you run out of RAM. The operating system can store data that would normally be kept in RAM on the hard drive in a specially formatted file. In this guide, we'll demonstrate how to create and use one of these files in Ubuntu 14.04.

    Looks, like there is not enough memory for InnoDB stuff.

    Shortly: add (or replace existing line) to the /etc/mysql/my.cnf :

    innodb_buffer_pool_size = 20M

    This will decrease mysql requirements.

    And here is the original answer (with explanations):

This is happening to me on a WordPress droplet. I've done two things, one suggested by another answer here. In the [mysqld] section I've added innodb_buffer_pool_size = 16M. Note, this is really small, but this is on a small droplet, so it is what it is. Additionally, when mysql eventually crashed I noticed apache having a LOT of processes. It's likely hogging up all the system memory. Again, this is for a small site, so I tuned down apache by editing /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/mpm_prefork.conf to this:

<IfModule mpm_prefork_module>
    StartServers        3
    MinSpareServers     3
    MaxSpareServers     5
    MaxRequestWorkers   25
    MaxConnectionsPerChild  0
</IfModule>

Updating innodb_buffer_pool_size stabilized the system for a lot longer than before, but apache eventually hogged all the memory. I'm hoping my problem goes away limiting the number of Apache processes that can exist.

Can you backup your existing /etc/mysql/my.cnf and replace it with the this one

This is what I'm currently using on 512 droplet to test.

I've encountered similar issue, and adding 1GB swap solved my problem. See this:

After applying the mysql and apache tweaks in my previous post I stressed the system using ab. Below are my results. Long story short, the system was able to successfully process 5000 requests across 20 concurrent connections. The system remained stable and no mysql issues.

I'm running this on a 1G droplet, might be tight, but this config seems like it would work on a 512MB as well.

Hope this helps!

So what can I do to actually fix this problem Im having?
Reply
me122977 January 24, 2014
I'm assuming this is MySQL 5.5 or 5.6?
You can try on turning of the performance schema in the my.cnf

More info here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/performance-schema-startup-configuration.html
If this works you'll then need to decide if you need the performance schema and tweak your my.cnf so everything fits in the memory you have

Create or add the following to your /etc/mysql/my.cnf

[mysqld]
performance_schema=off

danbarrow257 January 25, 2014
The full version title is '5.5.34-0ubuntu0.12.04.1;, I have turned the performance_schema off and it has repeated the fault. My next line of inquiry is that does there have to be a minimum amount of memory to run a mysql server. I am currently at 512MB, will I have to increase this?
Reply
me122977 January 25, 2014
Can you run the command: free -m

I had mysql + php-fpm + nginx + memcache running on a 512mb droplet as a test and got everything working.
Reply
danbarrow257 January 25, 2014

total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 490 225 265 0 10 103
-/+ buffers/cache: 111 379
Swap: 0 0 0

That is the result from free -m, Anything out of the unordinary?

Copied the pastie file, failed to start upon 'service mysql restart'.

Pastie to original my.cnf = http://pastie.org/8665255 if you need it.
Reply
me122977 January 25, 2014
In your config can you move the line
performance_schema=off

to be under the [mysqld] section?
I'm not the greatest at mysql so hopefully someone else will come along with more ideas if that doesn't work.

Also can you check that you don't have any abandoned mysql processes that could be throwing off the startup script

ps -ef | grep mysqld

gparent January 25, 2014
You'll want more memory. The error message clearly says so. You can tune MySQL later.
Reply
danbarrow257 January 25, 2014
That is the message produced by the command.

mysql 1933 1 0 Jan24 ? 00:00:14 /usr/sbin/mysqld
root 4265 4196 0 12:09 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto mysqld

Is that correct? Or expected anyway?

I got this when I used the config file provided for 512MB droplet.

    I fixed it by using these before restarting mysql to the new config provided in the comments.

    rm /var/lib/mysql/iblogfile0
    rm /var/lib/mysql/ib    logfile1

Just my two cents:

We were/are getting this error periodically when we notice that our server is getting hammered with web/sql requests, usually from a european or asian IP. Dropping the IP in IPTABLES seems to help for long periods of time; at least until the next bot or whatever starts again.

if your on centos to any rhel distro place your new config here : /etc/my.cnf.d/ also a great tool : https://tools.percona.com
