Check that the /etc/psa/.psa.shadow file has valid permissions. The right permissions would be

To check that Mysql server is running fine, try to access to the mysql console. For example:
In the newest versions of Parallels Plesk Panel, the password can be restored using the “ch_admin_passwd” utility.
To change the password, use a command like the following one:
Load MySQL with ’skip-grant-tables’ option, adding skip-grant-tables to the [mysqld] section of /etc/my.cnf file
Restart MySQL with the following command prompt:
Add the new password to the /etc/psa/.psa.shadow file.
Repair the password using the following command prompt:
Delete skip-grant-tables option from /etc/my.cnf
Restart MySQL.
