MySQL manager or server PID file could not be found
When I try to restart the lnmp stack, I get the following error - " ** MySQL manager or server PID file could not be found!*"
Last time I was able to get it back up and running again by performing the following steps…
1. Running ps auxf | grep mysqld
2. Killing all running mysql related processes.
3. Rebooting the linode
4. Restarting lnmp.
It doesn't seem to be working this time. Any suggestions?

Is there anything interesting in the system log files (/var/log)? Any ominous-looking kernel errors (dmesg)? Is your disk full (df -h)?

Though I'm not entirely sure what to do with that information.
du -sh *
should produce a summary of the sizes of folders in the current directory. One likely culprit are log files if logrotated is misconfigured or not installed.
