Hi Thanks for reply Dikshit
I tried to run few commands but it shows error
like when I run the command
sudo netstat -plt
it says
sudo: netstat: command not found
am i doing right?
The error itself is simply telling you it cannot connect to the assuming local mysql server?
You want to ensure the DB server is actually running, you can usually do this via SSH and simply type in mysqladmin -u root -p status, if its running then you should get a prompt, otherwise it will error out telling you the DB server is not running.
If it is running then you will want to check you WP-config to see what DB server / port it’s looking at. Ensure the username and password are working as well.
