I have received this error when trying to connect to my server via 8443 portal:
ERROR: Zend_Db_Adapter_Exception: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] No such file or directory (Abstract.php:144)
All my website are down. 123-reg technicians indicate that it is a MySQL problem but the error logs in /var/log/mysqld.log, /var/log/mysql.err and /var/log/mysql.log appear blank when I view them with tail -f.
The support technician can't help any further and I feel stuck. Please help.
The technician indicated that it was due to an overload of information on the server: too many backups being made! Thanks for your help though.
I found the error in another error log which helped:
In /var/log/mysql/error.log I found:
[ERROR] /usr/sbin/mysqld: Retry in 60 secs. Message reprinted in 600 secs
