Hi, I have a problem with mysql on my vps and I thought you might help, so Im posting it here. I have vps, 512 MB ram. Server load etc seems fine, but every once a while mysql server just dies. I enabled logs in /var/log/mysql and fidn out, that last log(query) before it crashed was QUIT. Here is my.cnf # # The MySQL database server configuration file. # # You can copy this to one of: # - "/etc/mysql/my.cnf" to set global options, # - "~/.my.cnf" to set user-specific options. # # One can use all long options that the program supports. # Run program with --help to get a list of available options and with # --print-defaults to see which it would actually understand and use. # # For explanations see # http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/server-system-variables.html # This will be passed to all mysql clients # It has been reported that passwords should be enclosed with ticks/quotes # escpecially if they contain "#" chars... # Remember to edit /etc/mysql/debian.cnf when changing the socket location. [client] port = 3306 socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock # Here is entries for some specific programs # The following values assume you have at least 32M ram # This was formally known as [safe_mysqld].

Hello, Please look in the /var/log/messages log around the time it is shutting down, and see if anything is telling it shutdown. Chris
But how do I find out exact time when the server/mysql crashed? I think I found what website was causing server overload once a while, but I'd like to find out where to get info or logs about this errors.
