Issue Problem with mariadb

FindYanot

New Pleskian
Hello all, i have a problem with maria db.
System: Centos 7 64

After DDOS attack, maria db does not start.
I reboot server and i got this error:

I tried "service mariadb restart"

Code:
May 10 18:05:39 hostname mariadb-prepare-db-dir[5195]: rm: cannot remove ‘/var/lib/mysql/domains/hostname/.discovered/backup_info_1704060007’: Permission denied

May 10 18:05:39 hostname systemd[1]: Unit mariadb.service entered failed state.

Server domain changed to "hostname".

How to fix it?

Hi FindYanot,

pls. make sure, that you add the corresponding VERSION, if you desire help for a third party software, which is supported by Plesk and the very first information should be always the output if the command "plesk version" ( logged in as user "root" over SSH ).


In some cases, the Plesk REPAIR UTILITY can help to solve issues ( => Plesk Repair Utility )

Example command:
Code:
plesk repair db -y -v
... where the option string "-y" can be as well replaced with "-n" to do a so called "dry-run", without any repairs. ;)
