Hi, I am having a problem with one of my cpanel vps servers, usually overnight I awaken to a sea of database failure emails. When I go and check the mysql sites on the server they are all down but the non mysql sites are up so I go to cpanel and restart mysql and everything is ok. All my security settings are the same as my other server that does not have this problem. I have also tried reseting the mysql root password but it still happens, any ideas?

Hello :)

I recommend checking the MySQL error log to see if you can determine the specific reason it failed. It's located at:

/var/lib/mysql/$hostname.err

Also, make sure MySQL is monitored in "WHM Home » Service Configuration » Service Manager" to ensure it's restarted automatically when it's detected down by Chkservd.

Thank you.

Thank you.
Mysql was ticked "enabled" but not monitored, I have ticked it now. Also I notice the mysql max packet size is set to 1mb. Should I increase that and if so to what?

I had this problem last night with a vps, and it also effected my other cpanel server in the cluster for some reason

It has a relatively high (for a VPS) 4 gig ram. I increased the mysql max packet size from default 1mb to 64 mbs and it hasn't happened again. Yet!
