Daily.sh breaks MySQL DB trying to update schema

I had an issue start last week that seemed to break the connection to the mysql database. I restored from backup and have found that whenever the server runs daily.sh it breaks again.

To recreate the issue:
1. Boot and run validate.php and get message that schema is older than latest.

root@nms:/opt/librenms# ./validate.php

Component Version
LibreNMS 1.43-38-g9f0afa2
DB Schema 262
PHP 7.0.32-0ubuntu0.16.04.1
MySQL 10.0.36-MariaDB-0ubuntu0.16.04.1
RRDTool 1.5.5
SNMP NET-SNMP 5.7.3

[OK] Composer Version: 1.7.2

[OK] Database connection successful
[FAIL] Your database schema (262) is older than the latest (265).

2. Run ./daily.sh and get error output:

This server has been running for over a year with no issues and just broke out of nowhere. Can someone please assist?
Thank you!

Not sure why you are seeing this unless maybe you’ve tested the pull request that included 263 schema change or you’ve made changes manually.

I’d suggest to update manually here:

Login to mysql as well so you have a shell open to your linux box + mysql.

cd /opt/librenms
git remote update
git pull origin master

Then in mysql do:

UPDATE dbSchema SET version=263;

Then run php includes/sql-schema/update.php

Now line by line paste these in, ignore any errors but if you find mysql crashes at one of them just restart mysql and carry on after that last line:

Thank you for the reply. I completed all those steps successfully, but still have some problems. When I run validate.php now I get:

I ran the above command at the mysql command line and got the following:

ERROR 2013 (HY000): Lost connection to MySQL server during query

I restarted mysql and run the command again and same thing. The good news is the web interface is working, but I’d like to get this fixed if possible. Thanks again for any assistance.

I would check your mysql server. It seems to odd that it would drop the connection/crash when running that statement.

I tried just running a mysqlcheck and get this when it checks the tables.

root@nms:~# mysqlcheck -A --auto-repair
librenms.access_points OK
librenms.alert_device_map OK
********* CUT OUTPUT *******
librenms.entityState OK
mysqlcheck: Got error: 2013: Lost connection to MySQL server during query when executing 'CHECK TABLE … ’

I realize this is probably no longer a LibreNMS issue, but can anyone advise on what I might do to repair the database?
Thanks!

You could try and do a mysqldump for the db, if that works then drop the old db, create it again and re-import.
