Enabling CageFS truned into “Could not connect to the database” error on CPanel

Enabling CageFS truned into “Could not connect to the database” error on cPanel

 

We need to be very careful while configuring/enabling CageFS on the dedicated linux as this may cause many error if its not configured properly.

Below is the common issue comes with the database sites after enabling the cageFS on the server.

 

“Could not connect to the database”

This is mainly due to the MySQL directory is not mounted in CageFS, The configuration file for the same is as below :

# /etc/cagefs/cagefs.mp

 

Please make sure you handling it as root and carefull while editing it. You need to add the “/var/lib/mysql”  under the file  /etc/cagefs/cagefs.mp and remount the users:

# cagefsctl –remount-all

After performing this you will find all the sites with database will start working again.
