MySQL/Wordpress issue

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

Okay, let's get this one...
cat /var/log/mysql/error.log

root@www:~# cat /var/log/mysql/error.log
cat: /var/log/mysql/error.log: No such file or directory

This server is FUBAR'd

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.

jmoore

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

jmoore

To be more clear, did you use the start or restart command?

Wrong. . . . .

You patch and update to ensure things remain functional.

WLS-ITGuy

@jmoore restart

jmoore

In most cases it should not matter but in a few I think it does. run the same command but use [start]. So:
[service mysql start]

Not what I was asked. It has been patched to the version I have. Just not upgraded to Debian 9.

That brought the page up and then it crashed midway through the load.

Wow, tough problem. Let me think about it some more. Have you taken any backups recently in case you have to reinstall?

WLS-ITGuy

I have daily snapshots and full backups.

jmoore

Have you changed any permissions or config files recently?
