URGENT: Cannot connect to the DB

[bjsteiger]

For some strange reason last night my server started throwing this error message

ERROR: ld.so: object '/tmp/getuid.so' from /etc/ld.so.preload cannot be preloaded: ignored.

So I rebooted and ever since I cannot get into plesk and all of my sites are down that need to connect to a DB:

ERROR: Unable to connect to database: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) 0: /usr/local/psa/admin/auto_prepend/auth.php3:81 psaerror(string "Unable to connect to database: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)")

Please HELP

bjsteiger,

Your Plesk is standalone, or inside a VPS?

I encountered this issue last time in my Plesk inside VPS. It was due to the Virtuozzo QOS setting of that VPS. I increased the QOS setting for those have the failed counter. It solved my problem.

Hope this help.

I know this may sound like a strange answer but I went to: ld.so.preload and I removed the file it was calling to. That solved my problems
