I'm getting this error on my XenForo installation. Server logs show out of memory because of too many php processes opened up which cause mysqld to shutdown. The WordPress installation associated with MyISAM works fine. The error goes away once I have restarted the mysql service. I'm unable to fix the issue. Would be grateful for some input!

files but have forgotten to delete the corresponding .frm files
of InnoDB tables, or you have moved .frm files to another database?
or, the table contains indexes that this version of the engine
doesn't support.

The logs at /var/log/messages show loads of PHP processes opened (50+) and server going out of memory, shutting down mysqld. I couldn't find anything that would be making so many processes stuck up. Could the mysql error before the crash occurs - "Cannot find or open table" be causing the error?

Error: mmap(127713280 bytes) failed; errno 12 : not enough memory to start the service:

Possible solutions:

  • add swap page

  • check innodb_buffer_pool_size value it may be too low to start the service or too high for the server

After that try to delete ib_logfile# then start the service

  • I have 4 GB of RAM. What's the ideal size for innodb_buffer_pool_size? Got a WP instance running too.

  • There was an issue with the swap space. It wasn't being utilized even though available. I've got that fixed and there have been improvements. Also used the mysqltuner scripts and using recommendations from there. I think things should work out now. Giving it a few days and observing..
