Asterisknow Can't Connect / Not working

[vjester]

I have an Asterisknow box that I built in December of 2013. We are currently using it for Voice Mail only. It has worked well, but this morning it wasn't stable. Some users could not access messages and none of them would play back. I did a shutdown/restart at the CLS. System comes back up, but does not allow access via web interface. Here's what I get:

FATAL ERROR

DB Error: connect failed

Trace Back

/var/www/html/admin/libraries/db_connect.php:71 die_freepbx()

Looking for suggestions on how to trouble shoot. Am rather new to Asterisk, but impressed so far by price and (until today) stability.

Thanks,

Howdy,

Is the MySQL database running?

[vjester]

No, I just tried stopping and the starting it using:

service mysqld stop
service mysqld start

It stopped, but then timed out and gave me a "Failed" response when I issued the start command.

Maybe this is the problem?

[malcolmd]

Probably, it matches the first error message that FreePBX is throwing

Ok- figured out this one with help from another * User - The disk was full and wouldn't let MySQL start...

Thank you for responding - it put us on the right path!
