Behavior of appache ( mysql )

Sometimes such behavior of apache/httpd (taking more & more memory until it dies or crashes the server) can be caused by corrupted MySQL database.

**Try to do the following scripts :-

1> Kill the mysql server :-

      /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql stop

2> Repair all SQL databases:-

      myisamchk -r /var/lib/mysql/*/*.MYI

3> Start mysql again:-

     /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql start
