The MySQL daemon on my CentOS server keeps crashing, i got the logs from /var/logs/mysqld but still i am not sure how to fix this:

This doesn't look like it's crashing, but being restarted. Do you have any cronjobs running at around that time? – Derek Downey Nov 15 '12 at 14:08
Of course, then I read the rest of the log. Can you give your specs on the centos machine (RAM) and what other processes you run on it (apache/php/etc)? 128MB innodb buffer pool should not be causing a memory issue. – Derek Downey Nov 15 '12 at 14:11

This is not actually MySQL crashing.

It's running...

121114 21:55:13 [Note] /usr/libexec/mysqld: ready for connections.                                                                                                                
Version: '5.5.12'  socket: '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock'  port: 3306  MySQL Community Server (GPL) by Remi

...and then it's not running...

121115 00:19:44 mysqld_safe Number of processes running now: 0

If MySQL were crashing, you would almost certainly see messages between those two entries.

This, also, is not MySQL crashing:

121115  0:19:47 InnoDB: Initializing buffer pool, size = 128.0M                                                                                                                   
InnoDB: mmap(137363456 bytes) failed; errno 12                                                                                                                                    
121115  0:19:47 InnoDB: Completed initialization of buffer pool                                                                                                                   
121115  0:19:47 InnoDB: Fatal error: cannot allocate memory for the buffer pool

This is MySQL trying to restart after being killed, but unable to restart because your system doesn't have enough available memory at that moment.

See this post and this post for an explanation of what's happening... you should find entries in /var/log/messages indicating that the kernel is deliberately killing mysqld due to an overall shortage of system memory... most likely caused by your web server making heavy demands for memory.
