Hello,

I've been getting database connection errors on my websites for more than week. I got this error:

froxlor[3673]: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Connection refused
froxlor[3673]: --- DEBUG: #0 /var/www/froxlor/lib/classes/database/class.Database.php(297): PDO->__construct('mysql:d

I've solved them with this command: sevice mariadb restart. However, I found today that the databases which my customers created are not working. For example, I ran a fresh wordpress installation today and the database created by customers is not connecting to complete the installation.

 

Any guess?

I appreciate your help. 

Anything in the system logs?

that's just the error being logged when trying to connect. I meant something that indicates why the mariadb service seems to stop responding? Connection refused just indicates that the service cannot be reached. Never had this problem, this surely can have many causes....but froxlor is most likely none of them. Maybe google knows some more

Not enough memory?

That is one possibility yes.
