Problem with sql database

markit

New Pleskian
Hi all

I left my own server a few weeks without care, my updates are manual because I know updates can be problematic sometimes. Nothing was changed, so I cannot understand why the following message appears instead of my plesk page:

ERROR: PleskFatalException: Unable to connect to database: mysql_connect(): Connection refused (auth.php:142)

also on my website the following message appears to me:

Error establishing a database connection

What should I do?

My OS is centos, so I'm a bit green on centos commands since I normally use ubuntu, could you guide me through putty?

Thank you.

Hi,

login via PuTTy and execute the following command:
# /etc/init.d/mysqld restart

Prior to executing this command, could you please execute the following command and paste the output here?
# tail -n 25 /var/log/mysqld.log

Thanks,
Kristian
