wolstech Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 This has been a known issue since February. There is no fix expected in the near future as far as I know. Your only choices are to use myisam tables and tolerate the downtime, switch to Johnny, which has working innodb but the downtime is even worse, or find a separate MySQL host and use that instead of our database server, which will be stable and up, but noticeably slower. http://www.helionet.org/index/topic/18875-stevie-mysql-common-questions-and-problems/ has info about modifying .sql files and using myisam tables. Mediawiki is also known to one of the more troublesome programs to run on our service (especially upgrades). Quote
paladox2014 Posted September 21, 2014 Author Posted September 21, 2014 Do you know any free MySQL host so that I can temporarly use that MySQL host until the issue is fixed please. Quote
hussam Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 wolstech, since your mysql is a cpanel distribution, have you tried cpanel support? paladox2014, try http://db4free.net/ Quote
wolstech Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 The problem isn't the server, it's the data. We could probably fix this quickly by just dropping everything that used innodb, but then users will complain they lost their data. Also, when it initially crashed, i don't think we were using a cpanel distribution of MySQL. Cpanel was upgraded at some point after the crash. Db4free was the one I was going to recommend too. Quote
paladox2014 Posted September 21, 2014 Author Posted September 21, 2014 Ok thnks are there any others that offer more MySQL storage and wont be wiped if you store more then 200mb. Quote

hussam Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 No idea. You can always search on google.But if I remember correctly (I may be mistaken), heliohost's limit is 250MB for mysql and 500MB total.So it's not much different than 200MB.Some scripts like drupal and mediawiki can also use postgresql.
