Ok, so my WordPress blogs went down. I tried restarting MySQL and my whole server but that didn’t work. I’d had the problem before and on flicking around on WHM I noticed my /tmp folder was at 100% and it clicked that the problem was that my tmp folder was full and WordPress needs some space in it to work.
So I tried to access it via FileZilla, that won’t give me access to my server. So I thought I would have a wack with regular SSH and went in a deleted all the files in my tmp folder. This worked fine but it should have deleted the mysql.sock file which is required to connect. It’s not listed in there anymore but I seem to be connecting to MySQL fine on WordPress and my other sites so I’m confused there.
Don't have time to check my blog? Get a weekly email with all the new posts. This is my personal blog, so obviously it is 100% spam free.
