Hi Mathieu,
I found that innodb_buffer pool value isn't set..The whole innodb settings are commented. I found the below values from the my.cnf file: # Uncomment the following if you are using InnoDB tables #innodb_data_home_dir = /var/lib/mysql/ #innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:10M:autoextend #innodb_log_group_home_dir = /var/lib/mysql/ #innodb_log_arch_dir = /var/lib/mysql/ # You can set .._buffer_pool_size up to 50 - 80 % # of RAM but beware of setting memory usage too high #innodb_buffer_pool_size = 256M #innodb_additional_mem_pool_size = 20M # Set .._log_file_size to 25 % of buffer pool size #innodb_log_file_size = 64M #innodb_log_buffer_size = 8M #innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit = 1 #innodb_lock_wait_timeout = 50 here is the memory settings: total used free shared buffers cached' mem: 4054 4038 15 0 6 1426 buffers/cache 2605 1448 swap: 4094 150 3943 Please help me out to change the parameter values Regards, Amarnath S Amarnath Shivashankar wrote : > We have found that the MYSQL on all Email DB servers starts throwing "Out of > memory; check if mysqld or some other process uses all available memory;" > error.

You're using a 32 bits system right ? Because of many reasons (lots of documentation on the net about that) MySQL is in practice limited to about 2.4-2.6G of memory, thus the error you see. When I experienced this errors, I lowered the mysql_buffer and innodb_buffer so that mysql would stay below this limit and never had other issue with it. (It was crashing with an error 11 before). I kept this settings till I could upgrade to a 64 bits host. -- Mathieu Bruneau aka ROunofF Regards, Amarnath Shivashankar SQL Database Management The information contained in this electronic message and any attachments to this message are intended for the exclusive use of the addressee(s) and may contain proprietary, confidential or privileged information.
