Answer 1

Increasing the available RAM by adding new Swap space might also help. Steps are here

Make sure that you create /swapfile of the size smaller than the available space shown by

df -h

For example for me output of df- h was:

Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/xvda1      7.8G  1.2G  6.3G  16% /
none            4.0K     0  4.0K   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
udev            492M   12K  492M   1% /dev
tmpfs           100M  336K   99M   1% /run

So I created using 2 G

sudo fallocate -l 2G /swapfile

And then just start the service

sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart

Hope this helps. All the best.
