Unhappy Out of space? - My server is breaking


Ok. First of all I would like to mention that I have just registered on this site and I will like to apologize if I may have used the wrong section or so, but I feel like this is the place where I could get the most help as fast as possible.

Now I would like to give out some information about my server and what is going on with it.

- My dedicated server is hosted at OVH in Quebec if I'm correct
- On my server I run a minecraft server, Teamspeak3 server and a website running SMF (SimpleMachines Forum) + I got to setup a Mysql server which I use both for the website and for the Minecraft server
- Now this is my first time that I was setting up and working in the Linux enviroment, even though I don't have much knowledge in scripting and proggraming either way and I just did most of the work following tutorials so everything could work.

But looks like always something has to go wrong :/

Now this is my situation when I login with putty:

And here is my website which has been down for some time now, cause I really do not know how to fix it.
http://mc.brutalcraft.org

However the Minecraft server is still working.

I know I probably sound like a joke and your best advice for me from most of you would probably be to just give up cause I don't know what the f* I'm doing, but there's actually a great community I have created in this "more than a year" lasting Minecraft server and I would really like to keep it going and running.

Once again apologizes if I'm asking for too much help here, but I'm lost and stuck at the point where I really need somebody else more experienced with me to help me solve this issues. I do not know if this is the best website to post about this kind of issues, but I definetly feel like it's worth trying, cause hey, can't get much worse.

If you have any questions or if you would like me to execute some commands for you and tell you the results go ahead.

You can also add me on skype: gajsak636

Thanks for reading, in case you made it this far

What does
Code:
mount; df -mh; du -mhs /var/*
return? (The last one is just a hunch.) *See 'man mount'; 'man df' and 'man du' if you don't know these commands.

At first glance I'd say you should either attach storage or re-distribute space as your /home partition apparently doesn't require that much free space:

*Depending on what's in /var/lib we might be able to re-attach a subdirectory in /home to temporarily alleviate disk space problems but that won't address the problem in the structurally and long run.

*First ensure you have backups off site (like you should with valuable data).
0) Stop the web server and the MySQL service
1) Ensure nothing is accessing the source directory or stop those services first:
Code:
lsof -Pwln -a +D/var/lib/mysql
2) Copy the source database directory to the /home partition:
Code:
\cp --sparse=auto --no-clobber --preserve=all --recursive /var/lib/mysql /home
3) Move the original database directory out of the way:
Code:
mv /var/lib/mysql /var/lib/mysql_old
4) Create a mount point and mount the destination there:
Code:
mkdir /var/lib/mysql && mount --bind /home/mysql /var/lib/mysql
5) Start the web server and the MySQL service and check their log files for any errors
6) If no errors are logged and the web site is working then adjust /etc/fstab to reflect the changes:
Code:
echo '/home/mysql /var/lib/mysql none bind' >> /etc/fstab
7) Finally remove the old directory to regain 17 GB free disk space:
Code:
rm -rf /var/lib/mysql_old

step #5: ...and check their log files for any errors.

Change access perms.

chown mysql.mysql /var/lib/mysql
chmod 0750 /var/lib/mysql
mount --bind /home/mysql /var/lib/mysql
Start service.

It literally tells you what to check for. So stop the service then
Code:
pgrep mysqld && { pkill -15 -f mysqld; sleep 5s; pkill -9 -f mysqld; }
and start it again and check the logs.
