[Koha] MySql keeps crashing

[Monica Benavides]

Our IT recently updated our virtual computer from Debian 6 to 9, and
updated Koha from 3.18 to 18.11. However, it seems on a daily basis, the
mysql server keeps crashing and either we have to restart the computer or
IT does some other magic. Has anyone encountered this error before? Does it
have any relation to Koha not being set up properly?
Software error:

DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::catch {...} (): DBI Connection failed:
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (111 "Connection refused") at
/usr/share/perl5/DBIx/Class/Storage/DBI.pm line 1520. at
/usr/share/koha/lib/Koha/Database.pm line 107

For help, please send mail to the webmaster ([no address given]), giving
this error message and the time and date of the error.
