It sounds like you have a MySQL (or Postgres) problem. There can be a few causes of MySQL problems. An upgrade can overwrite mysql.conf. The directory permissions are not correct for MySQL (especially logging). I think you should first ensure MySQL is started and running. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=troubleshot+mysql+start+problem.
