Unexpected Database Errors

So after a few months of smooth sailing with XenForo, this few days I've seen the forum went down a few times with the error message "An unexpected database error occurred. Please try again later."

I would reboot the server and it would go back up, only to have the same problem reoccurring after a few hours. Also during this period when the forum is online, sometimes trying to open certain threads return the same "An unexpected database error occurred. Please try again later."

Any clue what to look for?

Yes, you your host should be able to upgrade you (will usually require down time to reload the VPS to bring the new space allocation in), or you could have a look at what is using all the disc space and see if there is anything you can delete / recover.

Do you have an error log configured? Should be something in your my.cnf file like so:

log-error=/var/log/mysqld.error.log

If you do, what is being written to the error log when trying to start MySQL?

Hi Matt,

I have just tried enabling the error log using this guide (below). Afterwards, trying to restart mysql yield another failed. I opened the log on /var/log/mysql.log and found only a blank file. I also noticed that while monitoring the folder /var/run/mysqld/ folder, the file mysqld.pid file would come and go with no apparent reason.

To debug applications which use a mysql database, it comes in handy to enable the query log to get all SQL queries that were sent to the database. Open the MySQL configuration file (my.cnf)
vi /etc/mysql/my.cnf
and add the line:
log=/var/log/mysql.log
in the [mysql] section of the file. Depending on the Linux distribution that you use, the my.cnf file can be /etc/my.cnf or /etc/mysql/my.cnf.
Afterwards restart mysql to apply the new the configuration:
/etc/init.d/mysql restart

Just got this error message when I tried starting mysql again:

root@www:/var/log# /etc/init.d/mysql start
Starting MySQL database server: mysqld . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..
Checking for corrupt, not cleanly closed and upgrade needing tables..
root@www:/var/log# ERROR 2013 (HY000): Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 0

Still nothing on the mysql.log file

Finally got some error logs on var/log/mysql/mysql.log:

-edit-

Tried to restarted it again and got the same error message (three times):

This could be because you hit a bug. It is also possible that this binary
or one of the libraries it was linked against is corrupt, improperly built,
or misconfigured. This error can also be caused by malfunctioning hardware.
We will try our best to scrape up some info that will hopefully help
diagnose the problem, but since we have already crashed,
something is definitely wrong and this may fail.

key_buffer_size=16777216
read_buffer_size=131072
max_used_connections=0
max_threads=151
thread_count=0
connection_count=0
It is possible that mysqld could use up to
key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_threads = 346521 K bytes of memory
Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation.
