Updating your server fixes this issue(almost all the time for me). Login to your VPS via ssh and run following commands to update and reboot.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo reboot

I have done this now site is working perfectly i mean homepage is working perfectly but inner pages have same issue like “error establishing database connection”

I always solve this issue with: ee service restart nginx-proxy && ee service restart db

Hi Paleo,

I’ve got a similar issue, the service restart works before.

I’ve encountered same issue again now, but it’s not working. Any idea how to debug this?

Regards
