From time to time something goes wrong with MySQL on a server using Digital Ocean, all connections to the database on that server fail and I cant log into Phpmyadmin. I see an error... "Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed".
Restarting using the following solves the issue
sudo shutdown -r now
But this has happened twice now and I've no idea how to prevent it happening again.
I found this thread but no luck there...
Im running Ubuntu 14.04
Thank you
