A running Joomla 15 appliance which had been up for several days suddenly gave me a message similar to:
Unable to connect to database, blah blah MySql.
I rebooted several times and always end up at (initramfs)
What do I need to do?
Forum:
Is it installed on hardware?
If so, my first guess would be hard drive corruption and/or dying HDD. Failing that it could be some other hardware issue (motherboard?) Although I'm only guessing.
Solved
No its a VM on VirtualBox. Turned out to be a disk error that was fixed by fsck.
FYI, it would be nice to have an editor of some kind available from busybox to help w/debugging. I'm no linux guy so my mistake if there is one and I couldn't find it, or some other way to do it.
