Yesterday, I increased the memory in my mysql server from 2 GByte to 4 GByte.
Here the log file as it died: Number of processes running now: 1 mysqld process hanging, pid 1015 - killed 020808 09:40:12 mysqld restarted 020808 9:40:12 Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port: Address already in use020808 9:40:12 Do you already have another mysqld server running on port: 3306 ? 020808 9:40:12 Aborting 020808 9:40:12 /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld: Shutdown Complete 020808 09:40:12 mysqld ended The database was under heavy load at the time. The machine is a 'vanilla' dual 1 GHz P-III running RedHat Linux and a 2.4.17 kernel Server version: 3.23.49a-max-log After doing the memory upgrade, I also adjusted some of the parameters, in particular, I increased the key buffer to 2 Gig. The database has a very large (100,000,000 row, 30 GigByte) MyISAM table, and a few smaller myisam and innodb tables. It ran ok for at least half a year (last machine reboot). So far, it does not look like any data was corrupted. Usually, only a small number of client (10 or so) is connected.
