Hello.
<xxxxxxxx> Error establishing a database connection
<xxxxxxxx> This either means that the username and password information in your
wp-config.php file is incorrect or that contact with the
database server at localhost could not be established.
This could mean your host’s database server is down.
<xxxxxxxx> :((((((((
<xxxxxxxx> everything was working fine
<xxxxxxxx> might do a reboot
<xxxxxxxx> reboot didn't fix it
<xxxxxxxx> u@h:~$ sudo service mysql restart
<xxxxxxxx> Job for mysql.service failed because the control process exited with
error code.
<xxxxxxxx> why would it just stop working out of the blue
<xxxxxxxx> stupid mysql
<grifferz> you're probably going to have to read the syslog
<xxxxxxxx> I did and it didn't help
<grifferz> well it will certainly say why it won't start
<xxxxxxxx> Jul 28 15:38:30 cho systemd[1]: mysql.service: Start request repeated too
quickly.
<xxxxxxxx> Jul 28 15:38:30 cho systemd[1]: mysql.service: Failed with result
'exit-code'.
<xxxxxxxx> Jul 28 15:38:30 cho systemd[1]: Failed to start MySQL Community Server.
<xxxxxxxx> Process: 1637 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/mysqld (code=exited,
status=1/FAILURE)
<xxxxxxxx> Error: 28 (No space left on device)
<grifferz> is it time for me to again say that monitoring your free
disk space is useful in avoiding service outages and that
bitfolk can do that for you for free?
<xxxxxxxx> yes please
😀
