  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

PleskFatalException: Unable to connect to database: mysql_connect(): No such file or directory (auth

maniot

New Pleskian
Hello,
After an attempt to upgrade plesk from 11.5 to 12.5 which failed with an error that there wasn't enough diskspace i ended up with the error: PleskFatalException: Unable to connect to database: mysql_connect(): No such file or directory (auth.php:149). I looked into /var/lib/mysql for the file mysql.sock which i can't find.
I tried to restore a back-up from a day earlier via virtuozzo but that doesn't work.
I also tried to restart mysqld, i have to do this several times to stop it.
i attached my Mysqld.log with the errors.
How would i go about to get it running again?
Thanks in advance for your answers

Hello Igor,
Thanks for your fast response.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work.
I'm getting the error: ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local Mysql.......
I noticed that Mysql.sock isn't created.
I tried to restart the service mysqld, that doesn't change anything. If i stop the service and ask the status it tells me that it is running, even after stopping the service several times, the status is still: running But everytime i ask the status with other pid's.
I've attached a printscreen of my ssh terminal.

regards,
Nicolas

The issue might be caused by hung tasks. Check if hung tasks, run

# ps -auf

and check mysql related tasks. Kill hung task (run kill <PID>) and restart psa service

# /etc/init.d/psa restart
 
Nope, doesn't work neither. killing tasks doesn't work (no such process)

I also noticed that there a lot of lines in the secure logs recently, could it be that the problems are caused by a hack? and if so what could i do about it?
