We have had a number of VPS clients contact us so far today about their MySQL service being down. This appears to have been caused by cPanel updating overnight. We are not sure why MySQL is down on multiple servers and are looking into it but it appears to be something to do with cPanel updating. We see nothing on cPanel forums and will reach out to cPanel to see if we can determine why this may be happening.
The fix is easy. Just log into WHM and click the option to restart MySQL service.
Please also check under Service Manager that WHM is set to monitor MySQL service so it starts up if it fails
