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.

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

Re: Please, need help urgently

2002-02-19 Thread Sundara Pandian

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.

Please, need help urgently

2002-02-19 Thread SplitSlim

I need some help, this is a mission critical server and it has
CRASHED!
Details:FreeBSD on INTEL, MySQL v3.23.36 (FreeBSD Port)
The server had to be rebooted, and when it came back up, my MySQL
server died.  It's been working flawlessly for months (5 or 6), but
all the sudden mysqld will not start.  Here's whats in my log...
__
020219 22:52:00  mysqld restarted
mysqld got signal 11;
The manual section 'Debugging a MySQL server' tells you how to use a
stack trace and/or the core file to produce a readable backtrace that
may
help in finding out why mysqld died.
020219 22:52:00  mysqld restarted
mysqld got signal 11;

mysqld got signal 11;

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
anymore info, I'll be on this group all night until I get this thing
back up.

Thanks in advance!
