Hi there,

I have a big issue on my droplet.

Today, after pull from my git repo, I install a php extension (imagick).

After that, mysql began to start/stop frequenty, and now I am not able to restart it.

If i try:

sudo service mysql restart

It says me 

Job for mysql.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status mysql.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

Log of journalctl -xe says:

I am also facing the same problem. I do not understand why they are making changes internally. In the starting period its working fine no issue. After a few months, it showing such error. I did not understand what is the business policy?
Why every one suggesting increase size?
I already increase the size to 2 GB still having the same issue.
Many times server going down.

I also checked RAM memory usage with htop, I have 103 Mb free now.

Thank you in advance

    As expected, it was forced-closed because it was running out of RAM. The giveaway is this line [ERROR] InnoDB: Cannot allocate memory for the buffer pool

    But if you are on a 512MB droplet running both git and a full WordPress, then it is expected to run out of RAM. It’s actually quite difficult to run WordPress on 512MB.

    I would generally say that WordPress needs 1GB RAM minimum in production. You might be able to run on 512MB, but if just a couple of people visit your site at the same time and WordPress is checking for updates, then you can easily run out of RAM.

      That’ll be very helpful if you give the solution of this error cuz i’m not that much expert in linux
      & i use 1 gb droplet

kylegerm87 December 20, 2018

Guys, what the hell…

  1. One-click MySQL install.
  2. Connect from remote serve; You know, the only thing a database does in this configuration…
  3. 3hrs, 5 third party blog tutorials, 10 StackOverflow questions later…
  4. Now I’m here. With a useless database instance, no intelligible errors and nowhere left to turn

This very un-DigitalOcean like. Kind of unreal

Hi @gianmarcotoscano

Can you run and post tail -30 /var/log/mysql/error.log?
Just need to get a few more lines of the crash. You need to run it after MySQL stopped.

I suspect you’re running out of RAM, but the log will tell us.

@gianmarcotoscano

In addition to this error:

[ERROR] InnoDB: Cannot allocate memory for the buffer pool

… this error also indicates that you’re running out of RAM:

InnoDB: mmap(137428992 bytes) failed; errno 12

You may have 103MB of RAM free with the MySQL service stopped, though as soon as you run:

service mysql restart

… MySQL is attempting to utilize more than what’s available and since it’s unable to do so, it fails.

For database-driven websites, I recommend at least 1GB of RAM minimum. You can run with 512MB, though it requires a lot of tweaking and tuning, and to do it, I’d recommend NGINX over Apache.

That said, upgrading is a the best route to take since MySQL, and even MariaDB and Percona, will need more than 103MB of RAM.

@hansen @jtittle
Ok guys, I resized my droplet to 1Gb and now everything seems to be ok (and website also seems to go faster).

I also activated an alert if RAM consume is greater than 70% for above 10 minutes.

Do you suggest me some other tool to install or run some optimisation to avoid RAM usage problems?

Is 1Gb droplet suitable for a wordpress site with average traffic of maybe is required the 2Gb solution?

Thanks again for your help guys, I really appreciated it :)

    @gianmarcotoscano
    It is difficult to say exactly, since it depends on what you mean by average traffic and how many plugins you have, how big your site is and which theme you are using.
    If it’s running okay on 1GB, then stay there - if you hit RAM limit again, then consider upgrading again.

  • jtittle1 April 26, 2017

    @gianmarcotoscano

    There’s really not an automatic optimization tool in terms of one that’ll magically fix an issue with RAM usage. MySQL Tuner will help you to identify potential areas of optimization, though it’d be up to you to make the changes in MySQL’s configuration file and see what works for you.

    https://github.com/major/MySQLTuner-perl

    Ideally, MySQL should be running for 24-48 hours straight, without a restart, before you run the tool. It’ll output a lot of information and make a few suggestions towards the bottom. I wouldn’t, however, blindly make configuration changes unless you know what those changes do as you could very well end up making things worse (it’s not hard, even for someone who does know what they mean :-) ).

    The biggest issue is, simply put, the stock configuration for MySQL really isn’t meant for usage on production servers. It’s meant as a starting point. It may work well for a smaller site with low traffic, though it may crumble (and crash) under higher levels of traffic.

    There’s a lot of variables at play when it comes to tweaking and tuning MySQL. MySQL Tuner can help, but it’s not a replacement for a sysadmin / db admin.

sudo service mysql restart
It says me

I have similar problem.
MariaDB is installed, works fine, but I cannot “stop” or “restart” it.

Although I have requested service stop, MariaDB is still “running” in the background and seems to me - ignores anything further :)

This is my

systemctl status mysql.service

output:
