I am using godaddy's dedicate server to host my web application, it's centOS 5(I have no idea why they are still using this.), I installed mysql in that server, everything was running OK since one day I got an report saying that the web application cannot connect to mysql, I checked and found out that mysql crashed, after restarting mysql, everything worked again. But the weird thing is that it will crash randomly, sometimes once in a month, sometimes once or twice in couple months. Please help me figure out what the problem is. The following is the most recent crash log from mysql. Thank you very much for your time.

It looks like there is an issues with InnoDB corruption. If you can get it up and running, you can try running "mysqlcheck --all-databases --quick --fast --auto-repair --force ". If that will not work, you can try to dump the content and then import everything again as this will re-create the ibdata file. If you cannot run either of these before the server restarts again, you may need to look into using the Percona Data Recovery Tool for InnoDB.
