Comment 6 for bug 970366

İ have Lamp on Ubuntu Server 12.04 and i am working on Moodle in this server. I had same issue, i looked /var/log/syslog and these lines are the being problem;

Nov 17 07:58:47 localhost kernel: [ 5553.205348] Out of memory: Kill process 678 (mysqld) score 121 or sacrifice child

Nov 17 07:59:43 localhost kernel: [ 5608.955463] init: mysql respawning too fast, stopped

The solution is from here; http://askubuntu.com/questions/127264/cant-start-mysql-mysql-respawning-too-fast-stopped

So i added these line to my /etc/mysql/my.cnf ;

default-character-set = utf8
default-collation = utf8_general_ci

character_set_server = utf8
collation_server = utf8_general_ci
