This is my first post here, so I hope I do everything right and don't forget any important info. I'm glad for any hints, because I'm running out of ideas (if I ever had any ;)).
I am (or was) running owncloud on Raspbian Jessie (so I guess basically Debian). Suddenly owncloud stopped working. The nginx error points towards php5-fpm, further searches gave this error:
exception 'Doctrine\DBAL\DBALException' with message 'Failed to connect to the database: An exception occured in driver: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)' in /var/www/owncloud/lib/private/db/connection.php:54
So it looks like a mysql error, and /var/run/mysqld/
is actually empty.
Following these posts 1 and 2, I tried
sudo find / -type s
resulting in this output:
/run/php5-fpm.sock
/run/fail2ban/fail2ban.sock
/run/thd.socket
/run/dhcpcd.unpriv.sock
/run/dhcpcd.sock

find: `/proc/30933/fd/5': No such file or directory
find: `/proc/30933/fdinfo/5': No such file or directory
In the processes with top
on the other hand, mysqld and mysqld_safe show up.
mysql-client, mysql-server and php5-mysql are installed and updated to the latest versions.
I also had a look at
/etc/mysql/my.cnf
/etc/mysql/debian.cnf
both show /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock as socket...
/var/lib/mysql/my.cnf
mentioned here does not exist.
Additionally, it seems that I can't connect to mysql through
mysql -u user -p
at least it results in the Error 2002 as well.
Finally, I tried stopping and starting the mysql service. This resulted in the following output of
systemctl status mysql.service
mysql.service - LSB: Start and stop the mysql database server daemon
Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/mysql)
Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since So 2016-04-10 11:54:23 CEST; 23s ago
Process: 9777 ExecStop=/etc/init.d/mysql stop (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
Process: 12878 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/mysql start (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
So I'm kind of lost what is going on, the problem occurs since some updates a few days ago. While writing this post, I went through all the steps again, just to be safe. At one point, I had a short glimpse at my owncloud instance in the browser, but then it was gone again. So I appreciate any help/hints!!!
Thank you very much!!!
