MySQL/Wordpress issue

Would a re-install of MySQL help?

jmoore

Ok to me it just sounds like mysql is in a funk. It also appears it is still running. I think you should try to kill the process and then start it back up. Do this from terminal:

ps aux
then look for process ID of mysql
from terminal : kill -9 ID
then from terminal again: service start mysql

@wls-itguy Did you try with sudo?

I'm logged in as root

But I tried anyway and it didn't change anything

What output are you receiving?

No, don't reinstall MySQL (at least not yet. . . or without backups)

And, and those two sar reports.

root@www:~# sar
Cannot open /var/log/sysstat/sa21: No such file or directory

root@www:~# sar -r

You need to enable sar collection. It's very important for all investigation.

enabled now.

Still cannot run the SAR or SAR -R requests. Even after an apache restart and a reboot of the server

They are not dependent on Apache. Not web related.

That's nothing like what messages should normally look like.

Okay, let's get this one...

cat /var/log/mysql/error.log

For those wondering, I just jumped onto a Debian machine to see where the files are

It's old, too. Debian 9 is current, and those releases are very far apart.

Are you just running a single WordPress site here?

Yes. Single site.

That is indeed strange. When you did a ps aux was there more than 1 mysql process or just 1?

Yes. Single site.

Given that the site is now down... is there a good reason that you are running a WP site on your own instead of through a server (asks the guy who runs a service for that.)

Just the one but I also had to run the restart service command before it would display any info.

Did you run [service mysql start] from terminal?

It has been 2+ years since it has been set up this way. Wasn't broken, why fix it.

everything has been from CLI terminal
