Sudden on my server is started getting this error relating sql
Lost connection to MySQL server during query
When i do service mysql start i get the error
/etc/init.d/mysql start
Starting MySQL................................... [FAILED]
What could I fix by trying to start mysql server, recieve following errors:
plesk interface:
Code:
Failed to restart the "mysql" service.
Cannot start/stop/restart service: Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
utility, e.g. service mysql restart
Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
Upstart job, you may also use the stop(8) and then start(8) utilities,
e.g. stop mysql ; start mysql. The restart(8) utility is also available.
start: Job failed to start
from the console:
Code:
sudo service mysql start
start: Job failed to start

I'm having troubles starting up MySQL. When I run..
# service mysqld start
I get..
Starting MySQL................................... [FAILED]
So I ran..
# ps aux | grep mysql
And did kill -9 for the running processes. When I try to run..
# service mysqld stop
I get the error..
MySQL PID file could not be found! [FAILED]
So I don't really know what to do. Does anyone have any advice about how I could resolve this issue?
I have problem getting my mysql server to start. Below is my my.cnf and mysql.log. I wonder if anyone can see what might the problem be.

am running CentOs with whm/cpanel and am whenever i reboot my server all sites that required mysql show erros ( can't connect ) it resolves by manually in the web host manager restarting mysql.
I already tried
chkconfig mysql on
then rebooted and the error persists,
I'm having a bit of trouble here with MySQL, I don't know what to do. Centos 4.3, Mysql 4.1
Data is stored in /var/lib/mysql/
I'm looking to move that information to a second hard drive soon, and did a quick test of just copying it to another place on my existing drive. It won't start.

I have tried even chmod 777ing the msyqltf folder (my copy) to no avail.
my.cnf
Code:

err-log=/var/log/mysqld.log
pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
I've tried moving it to different locations. I even tried moving the original folder and renaming it, and still get this problem.
After a reboot mysql / eximstats remain failed.
I received no errors on restart eximstats, exim, mysql or cpanel.
I did a forced mysql upgrade and forced exim upgrade.
chmod 1777 /tmp did not help either.
What could be the cause? Everything else is green.
My vps is run well, then i reboot and i see mysql no longer working. I check in WHM
mysql (5.0.67-community) failed
And when restart (by WHM )

My VPS in unmanaged, i can't access mysql.

This issue is really strange as i never put requota to run in cronjob.
I've been having trouble installing MySQL 5, strangely, on this VPS.
Upon every install, it is bound to give me the same error.

My OS is CentOS 5.8.
Plesk is 11.0.9.
Having problems with failed daily domain backups. All databases that have been created by Plesk cannot be backed up, thus backup fails with the following message:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Since we upgraded to Plesk 11.5 or (I'm not shure) the last Update 12, user can not import MySQL-Databases anymore.
If the user open phpMyAdmin for import and select the database and click on Ok, phpMyAdmin does nothing.
I heard that could be a problem with JQUERY and I checked the files in ParallelsadminhtdocsdomainsdatabasesphpMyAdminjsjquery and all files seems to be there.
Only if I check the source of the phpMyAdmin Import-Website it seems, there is a problem with jquery-1.6.2+fix-9521.js.
But how I can fix this problem for all Windows-Servers.

I was adding another apache node to the cluster. All the nodes have RHEL5 installed on it. I downloaded the source httpd-2.2.10 and compile it using commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --enable-module=so --enable-rewrite=shared --enable-cgi=shared --enable-unique_id=shared --enable-ssl=shared --enable-include=shared
make
make install
After it is compiled without any errors, when i am trying to start it it's giving me error.
# /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start
httpd: Could not open configuration file /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf: Invalid argument
File exists at the said location. There is no permission issue also.
# ll /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13482 Dec 2 12:32 /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf
Kindly help in resolving the issue.
I have installed APF on box and set ports for in and out and enabled it.. of course, iptables is running from booting..
[root@localhost /]# runlevel
N 3
[root@localhost /]# chkconfig --list | grep iptables
iptables 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
[root@localhost /]# chkconfig --list | grep apf
apf 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
but when I check it like this
[root@localhost ~]# service iptables status
Firewall is stopped.
[root@localhost ~]# service iptables start
Flushing firewall rules: [ OK ]
Setting chains to policy ACCEPT: mangle filter [ OK ]
Unloading iptables modules: ^[[A [ OK ]
[root@localhost ~]# service iptables status
Firewall is stopped.
it said iptables is stop...even I start manually...
I am not sure APF is running correctly because of iptables..
What if i got a really good connection to this house i have in Sweden and bought some servers there, is it a good idea and would it sell? How hard is it to get a good connection, the house is in a fairly populated area of Sweden and i have partners who could help run it and do support 24 hours.
But its just a thought and we would start small. What do you guys think?
I have a wordpress site, and am trying to find someone good and reasonable price to design me a template for the website so I can still use wordpress but have access and control to everything.. I am going to buy a domain as well to hook wordpress up to it so I can edit themes etc.. I was looking at maybe using mmhosting..
Also, I have a forum, but not sure what type of forum I need to be able to arrange it and add and use features don't I can't now, so basically upgrade..
My site, as I said is wordpress but I want it to look like the forums I am using..
had alot of trouble installing YUM

I have install VNC on my test VPS.
I download tightvnc and play with it just fine, everything working like it should.
But, I just want to SSH to the VPS and now it give me "Server unexpectedly closed network connection"
I need to know how can I ssh into my vps again.
Can I just reboot the server and relogin again?
I have a dedicated machine with Xen configured... Dom0 stuff runs great.
I have a pre-made image from jailtime.org, with an ubuntu.7-04.img, ubuntu-7-05.xen3.cfg, and ubuntu.swap -- obviously, the actual image, the config file, and the swap file.
Starting it fails:
Code:
$ sudo xm create ./ubuntu.7-04.xen3.cfg
Using config file "././ubuntu.7-04.xen3.cfg".
The config file:
Code:
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-xen"
memory = "256"
name = "ubuntu"
vif = [ 'mac=00:01:02:03:04:07, bridge=xenbr0, vifname=vif1.0' ]
dhcp = "dhcp"
disk = ['file:/home/matt/vms/ubuntu-7.04/ubuntu.7-04.img,sda1,w', 'file://home/matt/vms/ubuntu-7.04/ubuntu.swap,sda2,w']
root = "/dev/sda1 ro"
Actually, a couple derivative questions here...
- Are the /boot and /dev/sda1 literal? That is, do they relate to Dom0 names (/boot on the server, and /dev/sda1, my "real" disk), or are they telling the new DomU what to call them?
- I don't want DHCP.... Do I change dhcp to "0" / "false," or do I specify an IP?
I've found a zillion guides out there, and they cover everything about setting up Xen, except for this one part, it seems?
I am thinking of starting VPS hosting.
I asked softlayer, they provide Citrix XenServer for hosting VPS on Linux (i prefer linux).
Can you please recommend software for providing VPS Hosting?
32 bit or 64 Bit Linux is recommended for VPS hosting?
I'm attempting to start my first website. The good thing is I'm not new to computers, or programming (my main experience is with VB/C#). I don't have any web programming under my belt, but if I had to learn a new language I'm sure I would be fine.
The website I have in mind is mysweetcar.com. It's meant to be for the most part a typical web forum. I would also like the option of adding Paypal or some other basic e-commerce services. I already have the domain name registered. Now, obviously, I'm looking for a host.
The huge number of available hosts and hosting plans is pretty overwhelming. In my research so far I've found quite a bit of inconsistency and what seems to be false or misleading information. Almost every "review" site I've visited feels like its been paid off by the web hosts. In general I'm having trouble finding objective and unbiased analysis.
Heres a good example of my general confusion: The web host ixhosting.com offers 2500GB monthly transfer for only $6.45 a month. Yet on another website, hosting.com, the data transfer is only 25GB a month, and the plan costs $17. Can there really be such a huge difference? I also don't see numbers for bandwidth, for example with the 2500GB plan it wont matter if the bandwidth is poor and the site runs very slow. I also don't trust that the web host will be faithful to the transfer rate they give me. Is there a way I can independently verify what my transfer usage really is?
I have hosted alot of websites for the past few years.
I first started off with virtual, then shared, and then dedicated. Then finally I purchased my own set of servers and managed to get them colocated in a server datacenter. This was a very big step for me, as I had to study linux and learn how to setup a server from scratch.
I am ready for the next big step, having my own colocated server system. Therefore, I would rent out a space, setup a connection, and them have everything running.
However networking is an issue, since I don't have any schooling for it. But I am willing to learn.
When setting up a server colocation, in what form does the main internet line come in? What kind of networking hardware do I need to split the incoming connection? I already have a network switch, would that be enough? Or do I need something more?
I am in the process of starting a new web site and I would like to know exactly what I should need to know about webhosting, such as:
1) The best one in terms of Price.
2) The simplest one to deal with (if it so matters)
3) What annual fees should I be looking at?
4) Can performance depend on web hosters?
5) Does country of hosting matter?
etc...
