MySQL/Wordpress issue
- 
 Ok yeah that still sounds like mysql just stopped responding and is just sitting there doing nothing. You first error indicates that it is not running. Try this: [service mysql status] from the termina. Is mysql running and active? 
- 
 @jmoore It is when I restart the service. and then about 30-90 seconds later it stops again. @DustinB3403 What do you mean by using top? 
- 
 Running top from the cli would show you the ram usage, high ram users etc. 
- 
 To check all your memory at once just do this command from the terminal. [free -m ] 
 That will show you the current state of your memory.
 Top command is just that. Type [top] in the terminal. Watch it for a while then hit ctrl-z to end the top session

 Goign to lunch, be back in a bit.

 @wls-itguy said in MySQL/Wordpress issue: 4GB plan through Linode. 1GB should be plenty. What's the output of sar and sar -r?

 Sorry I've been away. Had a morning call then hanging with my dad. I'm here now.

 Can I get the output of **df -h ** as well?

 Yup, that is WAY more than enough memory

 @scottalanmiller said in MySQL/Wordpress issue: Yup, that is WAY more than enough memory  Had way more before we downsized. Went the lowest I could while making sure we had enough space for the site itself. 
- 
 Okay, so at this point we need logs. 
- 
 And, and those two sar reports.
