Hello,
since I moved to another dedicated server 1-2 months ago I'm experiencing big problems with mysql.
Normally the server works fine for a website under heavy load but after a week or so it hangs in a locked table forever and thus preventig other processes to access it. Then I have to shut down the (mysql-)server, kill -9 safe_mysql and another mysql process (probably the one with the table lock) and run myisamchk -r *.MYI, then restart the server.
The biggest table has currently 1160768 rows in it - don't know if this matters. The mysql server is busy most of the time doing simple SELECTS and also does many INSERTs and UPDATEs. However the server hangs on a INSERT or UPDATE query.
I also had running a query log for a while (also when the server crashed) but it's hard to find useful information in there.
Some information about the system: Red Hat 9 (Shrike) Linux 2.4.20-28.9 #1 Thu Dec 18 13:46:42 EST 2003 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux mysql Ver 11.18 Distrib 3.23.58, for redhat-linux-gnu (i386) Athlon 1.5Ghz (or so), 512MB RAM HDD 28% used
What should I do? I already tried to find an answer asking Google but couldn't find the solution...
Try replacing the kernel with the one from kernel.org, replacing the binary with the one from mysql.com, and adding some RAM or swap. All three are good things to do, and one of them might fix the problem.
