Currently on Centos 6.4 VPS, Apache 2.2.25, PHP 5.3.27. WHM 11.38.2 (Build 7).

Last night I decided to upgrade Mysql from version 5.1 to 5.5 using the Mysql Upgrade under Software section in WHM.

I selected the unattended upgrade and rebuild php and apache. After doing this all sites showed Internal Server Error 500.

MySQL is not running and I can't get it to start either via WHM of SSH.

PhpMyAdmin shows:
Code:
#2002 - Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
The server is not responding (or the local server's socket is not correctly configured).
I also get these notifications:

Code:
Problems were detected with cPanel-provided files which are RPM controlled. If you did not make these changes intentionally, you can correct them by running:

/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/check_cpanel_rpms --fix

The following RPMs are missing from your system: MySQL55-server.5.5.32-1.cp1136
Running /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/check_cpanel_rpms --fix did not yield any results.

Any help will be appreciated.

Hello :)

Please try reinstalling the MySQL RPMs with the following commands:

Code:
/scripts/update_local_rpm_versions --edit target_settings.MySQL55 uninstalled
/scripts/check_cpanel_rpms --fix
/scripts/update_local_rpm_versions --edit target_settings.MySQL55 installed
/scripts/check_cpanel_rpms --fix
Thank you.

Hello :)

The following error is relevant here:

Delete those PID files in /var/lib/mysql if you do not have any MySQL processes running on your system. Then, attempt to reinstall MySQL again via:

Code:
/scripts/check_cpanel_rpms --fix
Thank you.

Thank you very much for your help I really appreciate it and I've learnt a lot from this so far.

Just in terms of the output above it appears some issues were picked up, what would I need to address there? e.g.

I recommend running the following command while logged in as "root":

Code:
mysql_upgrade
If you continue to see "Access Denied" errors, check to ensure your MySQL root password is setup correctly. You can use the following option for this:

"WHM Home » SQL Services » MySQL Root Password"

Thank you.

Hi

Thanks I ran mysql_upgrade and all is in order. No Access Denied errors. MySQL root password is set up correctly.

Thank you again for all your help.
