Serialization failure: 1213 Deadlock found when trying to get lock; try restarting transaction

When having trouble with the error: “Serialization failure: 1213 Deadlock found when trying to get lock; try restarting transaction” or when your place order / order confirmation gets stuck.

Fixing the order process getting stuck:

According to the Magento Forum, in MySQL, try:

TRUNCATE `log_customer`;
TRUNCATE `log_quote`;
TRUNCATE `log_summary`;
TRUNCATE `log_summary_type`;
TRUNCATE `log_url`;
TRUNCATE `log_url_info`;
TRUNCATE `log_visitor`;
TRUNCATE `log_visitor_info`;

Of course create a backup first. Doesn’t this fix the problem or do you have a better solution? Comment it!
