“Error Signal 11” at MySQL Server Startup

Error message at the startup of MySQLD (MySQL Server) primarily occurs when the database is corrupted or damaged. Few main factors responsible for MySQL database corruption are improper MySQLD shutdown, concurrent modification of same database component, and software bugs. Two major outcomes that you might encounter after database corruption are unmountability of database and inaccessibility of records. To surmount both these hazards and easily access the database records, a standard way is to restore it from an updated database backup. However, in case of database backup unavailable, the only alternative left is to repair your database using powerful MySQL Repair application.

Consider a scenario, where you encounter the below error message when you attempt to start MySQLD:

“MySQL got signal 11”

After the above error signal appears, MySQLD shuts down automatically and then restarts on its own, resulting in improper shutdown of your MySQLD.

Cause:

The root cause for the occurrence of the above error message is hitting of MySQLD with a bug.

Resolution:
