MySQL keeps crashing: InnoDB: Unable to lock ./ibdata1, error: 11

debianMySQL

I have a simple webserver (Debian 6.0 x86, DirectAdmin with 1 GB of memory and still 10 GB free space, mySQl version 5.5.9), however the mySQL server keeps crashing and I need to kill all mySQL processes to be able to restart it again.

/var/log/mysql-error.log output:

I have found a topic on the mySQL website here however there's no solution for it.

Any ideas anyone?

Best Answer

another approach from one comment in the same blog:

this helped me:

lsof -i:3306

Then kill it (the process number)

kill -9 PROCESS

e.g. kill -9 13498

Then try to restart MySQL again.
