I just check my forum 2 hours ago and I encounter this error all over the forum.
Checking pingdom logs show's my forum was already down for 6 to 8 hours.

What I did was restart the whole server right away, and fixed the error.

Now I started on debugging what was the root cause of the error.
I didn't think of viewing the page source of the error that might show's more info (my bad :( ).

The only changes I made yesterday was enable ngx_pagespeed which use my Memcached.
So I raise up my Memcached memory to 1024mb (thinking that maybe the cause of the problem).

Since I'm using Centminmod on my Dedicated server, viewing /var/log/mysqld.log show this:

This the latest content I have: http://pastebin.com/9GJJghvU

Reading the log files, looks like @Chris Deeming addon "xf_addon_update_check" one of the issue right there?
And also show's I'm lacking of buffer pool so I change it from 4GB to 5GB.


Any suggestion for my problem?
Thanks !


Summary of the changes I made that I think fix this problem:
  1. max_connections from 100 to 300
  2. memcached memory from 650mb to 1024mb
  3. innodb_buffer_poll_size from 4GB to 5GB

[ERROR] mysqld: Table './dbname/xf_addon_update_check' is marked as crashed and should be repaired

That would just need repairing in PHP My Admin. I wouldn't have thought a table crash is this fatal unless it's a side effect of something else that's gone wrong. That table is only ever queried periodically via a cron or when you visit a specific Admin CP page anyway.

I think you maybe answered your own question about what to do next. If you changed settings and set up new things yesterday, I would have thought undoing those things would be the first step.

A couple weeks ago I had the same error, but with different table. Mine is "xf_search_index"

The culprit is the server down for 5 minutes, so the service (mysql) is shutdown in a wrong way.

Repair the table fix the problem.

I think it's my ISP problem.
Gtmetrix's reports fine. :(
Some of the forum user's can't access my forum also.
I don't know what is blocking us.
I can access ssh fine, :/
Thanks Chris.
Debugging on this right now.

CSF can block IP's. Try to check it.

To be more correct... CSF DOES block IP's in it's default install if ssh attempts are made from that IP. ;)
There is other stuff it blocks by default also - but I primarily concentrate on the SSH and mail since those are two of the main services I have running (no FTP, etc).

If using the csf.blocklists it will also block based upon what you have enabled in there.

Code:

If those are the number of blocks generated by SSHD, I'd swap the port to something random and stop them even hitting the daemon.

I'm not really worried about them hitting the port. It just adds to my block list (which I use on my other servers also if they aren't already listed there). :p
