Database Error: Unable to connect to the database:Could not connect to MySQL

Hi;

You can start/stop the mysql service on the server by logging into the server as root from the command line interface and run the following command/s.

service mysql stop
service mysql start
service mysql restart

You can also use the following if the above does not work fine.

/etc/init.d/mysql start
/etc/init.d/mysql stop

 

Mysql must have stopped functioning in the server. You can restart mysql using the command,

/scripts/restartsrv mysql

OR

/etc/init.d/mysql restart

 

Hello,

Try to connect your database using the login details which you have provided in your config file. seems to be the config get mismatch.

 

remember database name and username and password when you created database using mysqldatabase through cpanel.. what scripts/cms e.t.c did you install.. check the config file to match your database,username,pass, e.t.c

 

i am getting this message...

Database Error: Unable to connect to the database:Could not connect to MySQL

i talked with the hostmonster live help ...he said that we only allow 15 database connections...

My website is actually a study website http://vuzs.net and at exams days our site's number of page impression increases...and mostly i felt this problem comes at exams days...

please help me whats wrong and how can i fix that?

 

this is a problem you need to take up with hostmonster. They need to either up your database connections (not likely), or you need to move to a higher grade account. 15 consecutive database connections at one time isn't really horrible though, if you close your connections properly.

cPanel can't help with individual host issues
