Re: Please, need help urgently

2002-02-20 Thread William R. Mussatto

Had a similar problem a few years back.  System worked fine for a number 
of months then started crashing whenever I recompiled the kernel.  Turned 
out to be a defective secondary cache (yes it was a Pentium and yes it 
was a number of years ago).  Showed up only under heavy cpu load.  Try 
stressing the box. Good luck

 Hi,
 It would be time consuming to understand why the server crashed and then
 repair the server, as u say it is a mission crtical one , the quickest way
 to get it up and running would be to back up the database (copy the ur
 database directory completely under the data directory) reinstall MySQL
 cleanly and get the DB back in action again.Also make sure u've got a
 'release' build of MySQL, I got the following info from a site hope that
 helps..
 
 Signal 11 Description :
 Signal 11, or officially know as segmentation fault, means that the
 program accessed a memory location that was not assigned. That's usually a
 bug in the program. So if you're writing your own program, that's the most
 likely cause. However, this FAQ will concentrate on the possibilities
 besides that.
 The cause can be software or (most likely) hardware for a Signal 11 crash.
 Read on to find out more. (*) Of course nothing is Linux specific. If your
 hardware is flaky, Linux, Windows 3.1, FreeBSD, Windows NT and NextStep will
 all crash.  If you are not reading this at http://www.BitWizard.nl/sig11/,
 that's where you can find the most recent version.

  This keeps repeating and repeating.  Since it's a port I don't have
  debugging compiled into MySQL, so I can't stack trace.
 
  I've used isamchk, myisamchk, and mysqld --flush to try to clean
  everything up, but no luck.
 
  Please help, I need to get this thing back up tonight!  If you need

You provide very little information... lots missing: which FreeBSD
version, did you build MySQL Server yourself and if so with which
options, etc

It's like phoning your garage and saying my car doesn't start, what's
wrong? - they can make some basic suggestions such as put some petrol
in it and try again, but otherwise they too will need more info!

A reinstall of MySQL Server might do the trick, IF you've got a
corrupted binary through the crash. But as someone else noted, it is
also possible you've got a hardware problem. Did you try to run other
stuff, and what was the result there?


Something else I have to mention because it is terribly important: MySQL
support (http://www.mysql.com/support/). Like you said, it all ran fine
for months, but it's a mission critical system and you can't have long
(if any) downtime MySQL support is a type of insurance; most of the
time you won't need it, but when you do, it's URGENT.
MySQL AB's support people have ample experience with this kind of stuff.
Depending on what type of support contract you'd have, you'd work
together with them to track down the problem, clean up the system, and
bring it back online.


Regards,
Arjen.
