Linux Mint SQL Database Problem

Hello,

CQR log usually works on my Linux mint system, but today it came up with the following error:
Error during connection to database: TMySQL57Connection : Server connect failed.
If necessary I can also post the contents of the log file. Does this simply mean I need to update or is there a bigger problem?
Thanks in advance for the help. It is version 2.5.2
