User Control Panel can't connect to MySQL Server

Hi All,

Recently the UCP (14.0.2.1) stopped working on my FreePBX (14.0.2.10) system. Looking at the ucp_err.log I see:

There was an error with MySQL Connection
Error: Can’t connect to MySQL server on ‘127.0.0.1’ (111 “Connection refused”) code: 2003 }
Error: MySQL server has gone away code: 2006

running netstat -ntlup | grep mysql shows:
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:3306 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 19251/mysqld

Seems like mysql is up and running yet ucp can’t seem to connect to it.

Any ideas?
