I am with SoftLayer. They're a very professional bunch. They even changed my BBU last night. The RAID card is working. The memory and the hardware are also tested. I have now upgraded to 8.2.19. Then I restarted the server, and dropped indexes. When I recreate the first index, the same thing happens: ------ # CREATE INDEX idx_links_userid ON links (user_id); server closed the connection unexpectedly This probably means the server terminated abnormally before or while processing the request. The connection to the server was lost. Attempting reset: Failed. ------ There is nothing going on in the server other than this command. All other users are blocked! Logging is enabled but does not have anything! I am now worried.
