Hi,

I tried a lot of stuff but there was nothing working to fix my problem. So I did a backup from an image that was stored couple weeks ago. And my site is back online. Even that I lost some changes i did recently.

Anyways. Thank you for your help.

Best.

If this happens one of the first things to check is the connection to the database. If you ssh into your droplet and run (these are litespeed server commands) systemctl restart mysql, you may need to run it with sudo sudo systemctl restart mysql and enter your password.

See if that restores the site, if so MySQL stopped running and the next steps would be looking into why that happened.
