    Running apache2, wheezy, with php7 on most sites..(wordpress4.98) ispconfig 3.11.1
    I woke up this morning to heavy server utilization 40+ Usually runs .7 made no changes yesterday or last night
    was not able to determine the process hog.
    Have several wordpress sites that when I try to view gave me a "database connection error" with no content, when I try to /wp-admin I get
    Error establishing a database connection
    This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at localhost:3306. This could mean your host’s database server is down.
    I have verified the DB and username are correct via phpadmin, and mysql CLI.

    I have another WP site that runs fine, but it is on php 5.6.. if I switch it to php7 it fails in the same way.

    Try to find out why the mysql load is so high, might be a dos attack against one of your sites.
