Fairly recent installation, no aircraft visible, checking and found MySQL is stopped

[ohange]

Installation: Pi3, Raspibian Stretch, separate Pi from FlightAware receiver (using PiAware 3.5.3)

When I went to the IP of FAM, it loads but shows 0 aircraft. I thought that was odd, so I started poking around. Rebooted. Noticed this repeating pattern in /var/log/daemon.log:

Starting MariaDB database server...
mariadb.service: Main process exited, code=killed, status=6/ABRT

Looking in var/log/mysql, I see a 7GB error.log file where this thing has been wedged for a few days and is generating tons of error output.

It's probably easier to reinstall a blank database than recover, and the installation is new enough that the value of the historical info is not really significant.

What's the best approach to take to lay down a fresh db and get FAM up and running again?

I think it would be far better to find why MariaDB exit ;)

Agreed, but this seems rather generic of a db corruption, which could be a matter of a power interruption, and likely not application related. (I could be wrong though!)

Here is the head of error.log for mysql. (I figure the first error is likely most important).

This could be because you hit a bug. It is also possible that this binary
or one of the libraries it was linked against is corrupt, improperly built,
or misconfigured. This error can also be caused by malfunctioning hardware.

To report this bug, see https://mariadb.com/kb/en/reporting-bugs

We will try our best to scrape up some info that will hopefully help
diagnose the problem, but since we have already crashed,
something is definitely wrong and this may fail.

Server version: 10.1.23-MariaDB-9+deb9u1
key_buffer_size=16777216
read_buffer_size=131072
max_used_connections=0
max_threads=153
thread_count=0
It is possible that mysqld could use up to
key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_threads = 351335 K  bytes of memory
Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation.

Thread pointer: 0x0
Attempting backtrace. You can use the following information to find out
where mysqld died. If you see no messages after this, something went
terribly wrong...
stack_bottom = 0x0 thread_stack 0x30000
The manual page at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/crashing.html contains
information that should help you find out what is causing the crash.

True, this seems in really bad state...
To install a new DB for FlightAirMap, you need to have a working MariaDB server (you may try to run mysqld_safe and remove the FAM DB, else if you only have FlightAirMap DB on your MariaDB, remove anything in /var/lib/mysql), then create FAM DB and user and run the install script again, if no table exists, they will be created.
