      Both of you, Try to restart mysql.

      service mysql restart
      Then check status:
      service mysql status
      Also look through this, try the tests:

            This is the fourth report today of this - does anyone know anything?

            FOG Versions are different, 1.3.0, 1.3.3, and 1.3.0 RC 19. The only thing in common is Ubuntu 16.04. Did an OS update break something?

                @egregers remove PHP version stuff from fog settings. Remove packages from fog settings. Rerun installer

                  @egregers This sounds more like a PHP issue than a DB one. Look in the apache error logs.

                      cd /opt/fog
                      vim .fogsettings  #or nano
                      

                      locate the line that begins with packages and ver and veradds and remove those lines, save, then re-run the fog installer.

                          This also took care of my issue. Do we know what the cause was so it doesn’t happen again?

                            @FlareImp Turn off automatic updates - I suspect an automatic OS update is what broke it.

                                @Wayne-Workman Automatic Updates are already disabled on my servers. I do not update the OS once fog has been installed. It tends to break things.

                                    Check again. All these different versions of FOG all stopped working for 4 different people… Today. The only thing in common is Ubuntu 16.04. It’s almost surely an OS update that broke it. It really couldn’t have been anything else.
