Question

Database Error when logging into wordpress

I can access my website but can’t log into my wordpress website. When I do that I get Database error. I tried doing repairing database but it still showed my database error.

I don’t know what happened but I haven’t changed anything since last week.

I have also tried restarting mysql using and this was the output:

~# sudo service mysql start
Job for mysql.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status mysql.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

Then I ran both command for details

~# systemct1 status mysql.service

Command 'systemct1' not found, did you mean:

  command 'systemctl' from deb systemd (245.4-4ubuntu3.17)
  command 'systemctl' from deb systemctl (1.4.3424-2)

Try: apt install <deb name>

Hello there,

You can check our tutorial on How To Troubleshoot Issues in MySQL

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorial_series/how-to-troubleshoot-issues-in-mysql

As already mentioned you can examine the MySQL error log to find more detailed information about the issue.

You can execute the following command and search for any error reference in the log.

  1. sudo less /var/log/mysql/error.log

Hope that this helps!

Hi @mohitpandey,

It seems there is a problem with the whole MySQL instance as it can’t start at all. You’ve tried to use

  1. ~# systemct1 status mysql.service

however there is a typo. You need to change systemct1 to systemctl. So it will be

  1. # systemctl status mysql.service

Alternatively, you can check your MySQL error log and see the exact error. Once you have it, let me know and I’ll further assist with it.
