Freepbx will not come up after restart

I had Distro 5.211.65-6 running for a considerable time until I had a power problem and the server restarted. Now when I try to enter the gui I get the following:

FATAL ERROR
DB Error: connect failed
Trace Back
/var/www/html/admin/libraries/db_connect.php:71 die_freepbx()
[0]: DB Error: connect failed

I can log in as root on the linux command line and when I try an amportal restart I get the following:

[root@winnfmpbx ~]# amportal restart

You must create this directory and the try again.

Would be very grateful if someone could give me some pointers on troubleshooting/fixing this. I am not adverse to paid support but would first like to try myself so I will understand the problem better and improve my knowledge.

Thanks in advance.

This is corrected in the next release. Basically a stale lock file. I would recommend updating to the next version at a minimum and probably best to update through stable.

Try to read this and then follow given instructions. Keep your FreePBX Distro up to date.

Great Guys - That fixed it - Thanks very much indeed for your prompt assistance - I feel rather ashamed I did not do my homework before posting! Thanks again.
