Hello Community,
I have a CyberPanel installation on CentOS 7.9. PowerDNS is failing to to successfully start and continuousky tries to restart itself. I have following error in messages which says that PowerDNS is unable to connect to backend database. I have following error in messages file. I just check db config in /etc/pdns/pdns.conf and I am able to connect to database using credentials in gmysql section of config file. I’m wondering why powerdns is unable to connect to db.

Any idea why it is unable to connect to db?
