I needed to restore my droplet from a snapshot after a problem. But now my WordPress database seems to be inaccessible or missing. Doesn’t restore from snapshot restore all data and files?

hello, i have the same problem, resized from snapshot and nothing is working, no mail, no web, no ssh i am very preoccupied
Hi,
Snapshots take a full system image. All files, including your MySql database, will be present when you restore from a snapshot.
Are you seeing error messages when you attempt to connect to the database? What is the output of:
mysqladmin -u root -p status
Is there anything in the error log? Run:
tail /var/log/mysql/error.log
