Ubuntu Linux 20.04.2
Virtualmin: web1.smtp-jet.com
I have Webmin with 2 virtualmin sites.
These are self-learning and testing, not production server.
I ran available updates, and everything appeared normal and functional except an opencart script I had on: web1.smtp-jet.com
I was getting Mysql errors on trying to get to page.
I deleted the opencart and tried several other scripts and they all fail as well.
Can someone give me steps and info to post that would be needful to help me fix issue?
I think it is something that changed with configuration or location of MySQL configuration or installation files because every installation fails due to something with MySQL.
Most or all scripts tried so far give me error: Failed to install script : DBI connect failed : Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock’ (2)
as listed below.
I cannot start or view database settings as I get the same error.
