I have lost Apache Webserver and MySQL Database Server. They won’t start. Don’t know what could have happened.I tried different ideas but no luck so I moved my my websites to a new hard drive. I managed to move my 17 other websites to a new hard drive, but what is the best way to move the Wordpress folder? I originally installed Wordpress using Virtualmin script. Local server. Ubuntu 20.04.4 Webmin 1.991 Virtualmin7.04 ---

Services not starting is not, in and of itself, any indication of hardware failure. If you post the relevant errors/log entries about why they won’t start, we can help you. ---

I gathered some info from the logs: 1.Job for apache2.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See “systemctl status apache2.service” and “journalctl -xe” for details. When I try to restart Apache with command line I get this message. Restarting apache2 (via systemctl): apache2.serviceJob for apache2.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See “systemctl status apache2.service” and “journalctl -xe” for details. This is the info I get for MySQL Error!

did you try a restart, logs rotate. Also did you use the icon next to View to locate the file. ---

Neither of those is all that worrying. Definitely not indicative of hardware failure. > [@eduardoeltortuga](#): > > I can’t even migrate WordPress because Mysql is Kaput Stop being dramatic. There are all sorts of minor reasons either of these services would fail to start, but we need to see the relevant log entries for why. Try to restart the service from the command line (an ssh session, not the Webmin command shell). And, then look at the error\_log for Apache and `/var/log/mariadb/mariadb.log` for relevant entries about why it’s failing to start. ---
