I'm honestly not 100% sure if this is the right place to ask but I figured someone might be able to at least point in the right direction, since I'm completely lost for answers and have no idea where to begin. I apologize in advance if I'm in the wrong place.
I'm working with a couple Drupal websites, Linux server, and as I was performing updates, coincidentally (...or not), the server went down, couldn't access Cpanel or WHM. When I could, all MySQL is down and I can't get them to restart.
I've searched a ton of pages on here (among other forums) for steps on how to shut down, restart, start, etc mySQL with no luck. The terminal just keep saying, "failed to stop mysql.service: Unit mysql.service not loaded". I can't even access phpMyAdmin in CPanel.
My biggest clue so far is that MySQL may have shut down abnormally or something along those lines, but I have no idea how to fix the bug, clean it, or where to begin.
Can anyone point in the right direction?
Thank you so much!
