Strange DB error on alpha12

[dminstrel]

Hi,

after an upgrade to mysqld Ver 4.0.24 on a Debian box, zabbix_server (alpha12) dies. It worked before. This is what I have in the logfile:

MySQL works fine and I have other applications on that server that access it with no problems. My hunch is that it's a compilation issue but I recompiled and still have the problem. Any ideas?

Thanks!

:confused: I've upgraded MySQL to version 4.1.13 but still no dice.

Anybody else see this error?

What error? Please provide us with more information. Give us at least 50-100 trailing lines of the LogFile...

I did a tail -f of zabbix_server.log. This is all I get when I start zabbix_server:

I'm at DebugLevel4.

The problem is quite simple : the zabbix_server.log file had reached 2.0GB! I've emptied it and everything is fine.

I've configured logrotate to manage this. Still, a simple check of the logfile size when zabbix_server starts with a helpful error message could be useful (but it's far from peing a priority).

(hangs head in shame) :D

ZABBIX (1.0, 1.1 alphas) does perform automatic log rotation! By default, it rotates log files after 1MB. Something is very strange here. Perhaps some permission problems or a broken filesystem, I have no idea.
