WordPress breaks mysql

  • Hi,
    after testing WordPress on my testing servers I just deployed WordPress on my main server.

    After entering the MySQL username and password MySQL completely breaks.
    When running mysql in the terminal I get ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (111)

    I’ve tried uninstalling MySQL. Removing all files associated with MySQL and then reinstalling it again. Mysql then works but as soon as I install WordPress it breaks again.

    I run mysql-server-5.6 on a Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS server.

    As this is my main server I really need things to get back up and running again as soon as possible.

    Thanks in advance!

    Contact your hosting provider discuss this MySQL issue with them.

    So is this not a technical support forum?

    As said I really need to get this up and running and if mysql + ubuntu isn’t something anyone can provide help with here I’d just like a confirmation of that so that I can continue and try to find help elsewhere.

    I managed to find some more information about the error. It looks like the mysql daemon process dies as soon as a WordPress page is loaded so it’s absolutely WordPress related.

    That would also explain why it can’t connect to the socket.

    Maybe a moderator could move this thread to WP-Advanced or installation?

    This is a support forum for WordPress issues. You have a MySQL issue.

    the mysql daemon process dies as soon as a WordPress page is loaded so it’s absolutely WordPress related.

    The process dies when you try to create the user in MySQL.

    – Maybe you have a problem with the bind address in my.conf

    – Or maybe if you just run the mysql_upgrade routine, that might be enough to solve your issue.

    https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/mysql_upgrade.1.html

    Search out references specific to the error, your version of Ubuntu, and MySQL. WordPress is not the problem in this case.
