cPanel Roundcube cannot connect with database

I have cPanel server (root access). When I access any email account from Roundcube interface, I get database error:

DATABASE ERROR: CONNECTION FAILED! Unable to connect to the database!Please contact your server-administrator.

Other webmail interfaces are working without any problem. I checked error log and found following:

warn [cpses_tool] Error while connecting to MySQL: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) at /usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/DBAdmin.pm line 168.

How can I fix this?

Please check the following steps:


  • Make sure that mysql service is up and running.
  • Make sure that roundcube database is existed. You can check it from WHM -> phpMyAdmin. There should be a database named roundcube.
  • If roundcube database is existed, make sure that tables are not corupted. If they are corrupted, you may need to restore it from backup
