The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

MySQL Memory Leak?

Asked by mdoolittle in MySQL Server, Linux, Linux Administration

Tags: , , ,

I have a website that performs beautifully- it is a DRUPAL website. 4GB of ram. My.cnf is configured I think correctly. Randmonly- and without apparent reason MySQL memory spikes through the roof takes over entire machine and crashes server.  Last time site ran fine for 8 days- I crawled the site- stress tested the site with 1000s of user- no crash- everything looks fine. But in prodcution, randomly and without warning MySQL memory rises exponentially in about 5 minutes from 5% of memory to > 80% and then machine locks up website gives an error of "too many MySQL connections" before dying altoether and taking down server requring hard re-boot. This is driving me crazy and my Web client also who wants his website to not crash- randomly. Apache logs show nothing unusual nor do MySQL logs- that I can see. Does not appear to be a DOS attack, I have researched all DRUPAL memory config settings for Drupal websites.  I also cannot duplicate the crash in any testing environment- no matter how many users I hit the site with.

It started to crash the other day- I was watching memory and saw MySQL memory climbing FAST. I restarted- MySQL service and everything was fine. Site stayed up and so did server. Was stable again for days afterward.

1. Is there a way to restrict MySQL memory - or restart MySQL service if it takes over > X% of memory?
2. How can I tell which Query caused MySQL to balloon out of control?

Thanks!
