[LON-CAPA-admin] lonsql cannot connect to database

Paul,

> lonsql          Cannot connect to database!

A report of an error of this sort occurs if the mysql daemon (mysqld)  
is no longer running.

Try:

/etc/init.d/mysqld start

to start it

and, if successful, then start lonsql by:

/etc/init.d/loncontrol start


Note: depending on your Linux distro/version, you might need to use  
other commands to start mysqld, e.g.,

service mysqld start
