ZPanel Broke my Server

Posted on December 16, 2013

So I installed all my server and it worked fine installed ZPanel and it broke it.

I get this error:

Critical Error: [0100] - Unable to connect or authenticate to the ZPanel database (zpanel_core). We advice that you contact the server administrator to ensure that the database server is online and that the correct connection parameter are being used.

Any ideas? You can see it for yourself at www.byvex.com

<blockquote>zPanel should be installed on a fresh server, as all of the programs that zPanel requires are set up automatically through their installation process.</blockquote> <a href=“https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-zpanel-on-centos-6”>How To Install zPanel on CentOS 6</a>. <br> <br>Did you take a snapshot of your droplet, b/f you installed ZPanel? It’d prob. be easier to spin-up a new server from the snapshot. If no snapshot, did you have backups activated on your droplet, by chance?

No I didn’t it was a fresh server today so what I can do is set up zpanel and it will do all of it for me? So if I delete this server and make a new one it would be ok?

I run zPanel on my CentOS 6.5 server. I only had this issue the other day if you update your MySQL to 5.5 and it was fixed by setting MySQL to start at boot after the update via Webmin
