Unable to connect to database: mysql_connect

[cmseeley]

Out of nowhere, plesk will not load properly.
This system is Panel 11.0.9 on CentOS 5.8 (Final), PHP is 5.3.3, and mysql is Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.95
Any Ideas?

Thanks.
Chris

See below;

In the main frame:

ERROR: PleskFatalException

and in the left side frame;

Additionally, an exception has occurred while trying to report this error: PleskMainDBException

Have you checked at least that MySQL server is running?

Yes, MySQL is running. Sites on the server that use MySQL are functioning fine, it is only Plesk that is having trouble. It is as if plesk and the psa database itself is where the prom is.

When I stop plesk, etc [ /psa stopall ] psa sops without a hitch. Then [ /psa start ] everything starts without a problem... no errors, it seems that just plesk wont connect to MySQL.


Thank you in advance for any help.

Are you able to access your Plesk MySQL DB through command line ? Please try with the following command

mysql -uadmin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` psa
