I am getting this MySQL error while trying to access the site and and even while trying to log into administrator.
Database Error: Unable to connect to the database:Could not connect to MySQL
I have tried refreshing and accessing it a dozen times.
Can somebody please help me to restart MySQL?
What makes you think it needs restarting? Have you verified the connection string and credentials you are using to access it?
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.
