Hi,

My server was rebooted and after that Plesk won't start anymore. I'm using Plesk 7.5 under FreeBSD. Here is the message:

Can anybody help?

I have faced that problem before. However, it may be slightly different from yours. The reason that it failed me last time was that I was editing some configuration on MySQL database. As a result, it failed to restart on the MySQL, resulting Plesk unable to start.

You might like to check what you have done on the MySQL just before you did your reboot. If you can start your MySQL, Plesk will work.

Thanks
