wordpress and db connection issues
by vinmansbrew from LinuxQuestions.org on (#52DV3)
So, I am running a wordpress server on rhel 6.10, and the db is also on a rhel 6.10 server. I don't know if it is normal practice to split the 2, it's how it was set up before me.
Anyways, randomly, users will get "error establishing a database connection"
php is 7.2, mysql is a bit older 5.5.62. I could update it, but this had been stable. Plus, things will need to get moved to rhel 8 soon.
Anyways, this issue is random, and I can't seem to find errors in the log files on either server. Possible I am looking in the wrong locations, or for the wrong thing.
I have checked wordpress and the databases, and both come back good.
I am wondering if someone has had this issue, and what they did. I have been thinking about restoring the default wp files, by replacing the wp-content folder. Though I am not sure what other ramifications that'll have.
Since it is a random issue, I doubt the mysql password is the issue.
It could be a plugin, and I can go through and rename plugins, but since I don't have a way of forcing the error to happen, I won't really know which plugin it may be.
Any thoughts?
Oh, wp is on latest version.
