There is a problem with mysql and server load. Some how mysql usage is going to over 100, but server load is not increasing, but it is crashing more often.
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
5931 mysql 16 0 111m 20m 3888 S 71 2.1 10488:45 /usr/sbin/mysqld --basedir=/ --datadir=/var
What could cause the problem? I did mysqladmin pr and only 2 database connections are existing.
MySQL the last few days seems to be constantly the most demanding process in top, which it never was before. As far as I can tell, nothing has substantially changed with regards to traffic to MySQL driven sites on the server. Is there anything that might be wrong with the databases, etc., that might throw MySQL into a tizzy?
Just wondering if mysql load balancing is possible in a shared environment.
Example:
I have 3 shared accounts. On one server, I have the write and the 2nd and 3rd server I have the read (select). Or vice versa .. Would it be possible to create a php script to perform this function?
So the site got featured on [url]and now the server is drowning...
The Coppermine Gallery usually hovers around 30~50 users daily and now, 1800, and im at a lost as how I should configure mysql to take on such a load. right now it takes about 10 secs or more to load a page and sometimes it would time out. Because it si coppermine, all pages are dynamic and can't be cached -_-"
Here's the my.cnf right now after i played around with the numbers

How can i check (using SSH) which databases/users cause server load to mysql ?
I've tried "mysqladmin proc stat" but it shows just the current. How can i get stats of the last 24 hours for example ?
I've also seen slow connections stats. What is the command to check more detailed report of the slow connections; which databases caused it etc', in the last 24 hours for example as well.
Anyone know a good script that I can run with cron or something? Mysql seems to be the #1 problem with a lot of my web sites, a restart usually fixes it right away for me, but I can't keep restarting my servers everyday manually.
we have mysql 5 setup and this morning at around 10:07 tables started disappearing as they were being accessed by different clients.
Databases that had 40 tables now had 30, etc. Only the tables that were attempted to be accessed were gone. This is the first time something like this has happened.
The following output was given:
This could be because you hit a bug. It is also possible that this binary or one of the libraries it was linked against is corrupt, improperly built, or misconfigured. This error can also be caused by malfunctioning hardware.
We will try our best to scrape up some info that will hopefully help diagnose the problem, but since we have already crashed, something is definitely wrong and this may fail.
key_buffer_size=8388600 read_buffer_size=131072 max_used_connections=208 max_connections=500 threads_connected=156 It is possible that mysqld could use up to key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_connections = 1096188 K bytes of memory
Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation.

I have a site that is eating up my server resources and need to know what the best solution for this is. I'm thinking of getting another server just for mysql but do not know what specs the server should be to handle the current traffic/database load and have the site run smoothly without slowing down to a snail's pace.
An alternative is to get another server just for the videos being served and leave the database and html on the current server. This is where I'm stuck and don't know what route to take with this.
I've attached screenshots of top and bandwidth usage per day. Hopefully with this information you could tell me if I need another server or if there are any things I can do to the current server to help things move faster.
Anyone know of some good server load testers ( commercial )?
Im not looking for application based load testing, I need real web server load testing... need to see how much traffic this one site can take before it cries.
I am just a beginner and it is about a month that the mysql loads on my server is so high , I have checked the mysql processlist via cpanel and there is no account that takes high mysql and make it high , and even I have checked for any possible rotten databases. but still the server load is so high and I can not control it , even when I restart it just after a minute it goes up again.
just the spamd command takes a high CPU usage sometimes. what it should be from? the spamd for a special account!
I need to optimize mysql , and need help. please do not tell me to hire an expert , just help me thanks
and another question is that how can I check which account is sending spam and stop it?
I have a dual xeon server that host around 15 small website, but these days I see that the load generated from mysql is very high as you can see below is consumes 32.6 CPU
it was very fast until mysql upgraded to 5.0.45 it was 4.. i can’t even turn my forum if it is a busy time cos it is so slow i get page not found after a while but when it is quiet it is not too bad... but it was alot more faster with mysql 4 i don't really want to downgrade please give me some ideas to fix this issue ...........
I have a cheap managed server and support is of little help BUT they will do what I tell them, where should I tell them to start to fix high mysql load?
The server currently has a large IPB forum, a large 4images gallery, and a couple popular Wordpress blogs, and this combo keeps taking mysql down.
What can I do server side to help this? And what shouldn't I do?
My server very slow and the is very loaded. How can I fix this problem? My server specialities and loaded softwares which are below. And sometimes there is "mysql connect failed", "Lost connection to MySQL server during query" errors. Thanks for kinds...
-- MYSQL PERFORMANCE TUNING PRIMER -- - By: Matthew Montgomery -
MySQL Version 5.0.41-log i686
Uptime = 3 days 4 hrs 34 min 17 sec Avg. qps = 92 Total Questions = 25406284 Threads Connected = 1
Server has been running for over 48hrs. It should be safe to follow these recommendations
To find out more information on how each of these runtime variables effects performance visit: .............
SLOW QUERIES Current long_query_time = 5 sec. You have 115 out of 25406302 that take longer than 5 sec. to complete The slow query log is enabled. Your long_query_time seems to be fine
WORKER THREADS Current thread_cache_size = 8 Current threads_cached = 7 Current threads_per_sec = 0 Historic threads_per_sec = 0 Your thread_cache_size is fine
MAX CONNECTIONS Current max_connections = 500 Current threads_connected = 2 Historic max_used_connections = 110 The number of used connections is 22% of the configured maximum. Your max_connections variable seems to be fine.
MEMORY USAGE Max Memory Ever Allocated : 835 M Configured Max Per-thread Buffers : 3 G Configured Max Global Buffers : 46 M Configured Max Memory Limit : 3 G Total System Memory : 3.96 G
Max memory limit exceeds 85% of total system memory
KEY BUFFER Current MyISAM index space = 35 M Current key_buffer_size = 32 M Key cache miss rate is 1 : 73658 Key buffer fill ratio = 34.00 % Your key_buffer_size seems to be too high. Perhaps you can use these resources elsewhere
QUERY CACHE Query cache is enabled Current query_cache_size = 4 M Current query_cache_used = 1 M Current query_cach_limit = 1 M Current Query cache fill ratio = 29.83 % MySQL won't cache query results that are larger than query_cache_limit in size
SORT OPERATIONS Current sort_buffer_size = 2 M Current record/read_rnd_buffer_size = 1 M Sort buffer seems to be fine
JOINS Current join_buffer_size = 1.00 M You have had 14127 queries where a join could not use an index properly You should enable "log-queries-not-using-indexes" Then look for non indexed joins in the slow query log. If you are unable to optimize your queries you may want to increase your join_buffer_size to accommodate larger joins in one pass.
Note! This script will still suggest raising the join_buffer_size when ANY joins not using indexes are found.
OPEN FILES LIMIT Current open_files_limit = 2500 files The open_files_limit should typically be set to at least 2x-3x that of table_cache if you have heavy MyISAM usage. Your open_files_limit value seems to be fine
TABLE CACHE Current table_cache value = 256 tables You have a total of 636 tables You have 256 open tables. Current table_cache hit rate is 1% , while 100% of your table cache is in use You should probably increase your table_cache
TEMP TABLES Current max_heap_table_size = 16 M Current tmp_table_size = 32 M Of 2271787 temp tables, 3% were created on disk Effective in-memory tmp_table_size is limited to max_heap_table_size. Created disk tmp tables ratio seems fine
TABLE SCANS Current read_buffer_size = 1 M Current table scan ratio = 28 : 1 read_buffer_size seems to be fine
TABLE LOCKING Current Lock Wait ratio =1 : 112 You may benefit from selective use of InnoDB. If you have long running SELECT's against MyISAM tables and perform frequent updates consider setting 'low_priority_updates=1' If you have a high concurrentcy of inserts on Dynamic row-length tables consider setting 'concurrent_insert=2'.
Quad Core server, 4GB ram. MySQL runs at all times between 200 - 300% CPU. Server does only 5K unique per day, and runs zen cart.
I am at a loss, I have experiece with tracking dowen reasons for this but this one has stumpped me. So I was hoping to get new eyes on this and see if anyone had any ideas.
# The following directives should be commented out # but included as they are things that get added # very frequently on tickets. These are more in a # need-this-feature basis.
# The below 2 cannot be set on the fly. If the customer already has # InnoDB tables and wants to change the size of the InnoDB tablespace # and InnoDB logs, then: # 1. Run a full backup with mysqldump # 2. Stop MySQL # 3. Move current ibdata and ib_logfiles out of /var/lib/mysql # 4. Uncomment the below innodb_data_file_path and innodb_log_file_size # 5. Start MySQL (it will recreate new InnoDB files) # 6. Restore data from backup #innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:2000M;ibdata2:10M:autoextend #innodb_log_file_size = 100M
I have one server where cPanel WHM displays the load averages at the top right, but another server where it doesn't. How do I enable this? And what do the three different numbers shown (e.g. "Load Averages: 0.99 1.17 1.43") stand for?
way to get MySQL stats such as queries per day and things like that?
if it was possible to load vhosts from a MySQL database and the only solutions i found didnt work for me. Im running Apache on Windows. Has anyone seen anything that would work with Windows? The only alternative i can think of is to read the database info using PHP and output it to a vhosts config file. I dont want to do that though because it means restarting the server to load the new config and i hear that a lot of vhosts slows the server down
I'm hosting about 6 private websites on my server, and some have problems.
My biggest website is a vb forum with 30.000 members and 1.5 million posts.
When i browse with firefox i see that vb forum loads fast, but phpads which is integrated on the top and footer loads very slow. When i browse with IE, it takes like 10 seconds before the whole site is loaded and sometimes IE even crashes.
When i try to login on another website / admin panel (oscommerce), i get a mysql gone away error, that means timeout. But why does it show that? I ran mysqlreport and can't find anything why it should display mysql gone away. # ./mysqlreport MySQL 5.0.15-standard uptime 3 19:36:47 Mon Feb 5 11:08:10 2007

I currently have one server a Dual Xeon 5130 2GHZ (woodcrest) 2GB Ram. Running cPanel/WHM
Now I run a website that is VERY PHP & MySQL Intensive and MySQL is ALWAYS the top of the process list, hogging a ton of usage. It's getting to the point where the site is needed a second server and I know there's a few options; but I'm not sure which one would be the best.
They way I see it my two options are getting a 2nd server and setting up the two to do load balancing, or getting a 2nd server and setting one up for just Apache and the Other for MySQL and using the 2nd as a remote SQL server.
If I do the Apache on a seperate server would I need such a powerful server? And if I also would want to upgrade this server along with getting a 2nd server would I be better of upgrading to 4GB of RAM or upgrading the processors?
I'm having the oddest issue. For some reason, some of the websites on my server load fine, and some take a really long time to load (2 minutes).
Now, the server load is fine, and the size of the sites aren't the issue either. I've restarted Apache and a couple more services, and still the same sites seem to load very slow.
What could be causing this since it's only effecting certain websites?
I was wondering if it is possible to cluster 2 web servers and 2 mysql servers with only one server working as load balancer.
I am planning to use LVS (ldirectord and heartbeat).
Let's say I have 3 IPs allocated to the load balancing server.
111.222.111.222 (Main IP) 111.222.111.223 (Web Load Balancing IP) 111.222.111.224 (MySQL Load Balancing IP) If a connection is made to .223 it would pass the request to one of the web nodes. If a connection is made to .224 it would pass the request to one of the MySQL nodes.
Is it possible to do this?
If not, can I run, for example, nginx on 223 IP address to provide forward proxy? (Then it would not be able to HA but the main point is to load balance so)
Also, what would be the best way to keep the data same on both web servers? This is a web cluster for a very high traffic forum with a lot of uploads every hour so it has to do real time synchronization. I heard that DRDB is only one way and not two way so I'm not going to be able to use this.
I've been having trouble with my VPS for a while now. In the QoS alerts page in Virtuozzo it seems to be a problem with numtcpsock and tcprcvbuf, mainly numtcpsock.

Now-a-days server is having too much load due to http and in access logs we see following message : ======================================== 127.0.0.1 - - [11/Oct/2008:01:40:02 -0700] "OPTIONS * HTTP/1.0" 200 - 127.0.0.1 - - [11/Oct/2008:01:40:03 -0700] "OPTIONS * HTTP/1.0" 200 - 127.0.0.1 - - [11/Oct/2008:01:40:02 -0700] "OPTIONS * HTTP/1.0" 200 -=============================================
And due to this there is load on server. We are not able to understand why this is happening and how to stop this. So please suggest with some solution.
