Edit Reason: SSH Error as well.

So I couldn't access my webmail due to "database connection error" and so I decided to restart my server.
Now I can't even access the normal panel, I get the following error:
My best guess is that there is some sort of problem with the MySQL Database but I have no idea on how to solve it.
Has anyone else experience a problem like this and found a solution?
EDIT: Also, I can't even connect via ssh, I get the error "connection reset by peer".
Something seems to be seriously problematic here...
FINAL EDIT: See my last reply for full documentation.
TL;DR: My server was being attacked which I didn't realise, effectively shutting down most services.
So a tip if you're in the same situation: check your log files for unwanted "guests" on your system.
Now I can't even access the normal panel, I get the following error:
Quote:Critical Error: [0100] - Unable to connect or authenticate to the Sentora database (sentora_core).
We advice that you contact the server administrator to ensure that the database server is online and that the correct connection parameters are being used.
