System logs show: The Ignition service terminated with the following service-specific error: Incorrect function.

The action taken immediately before the issue began was adding a login to a database connection. Any help to get us back up and running is greatly appreciated.

Can you put a chunk of the logs around the failed restart here?

FYI... if this is critical, you would be better to reach out to support as this is a strictly volunteer forum.
