I run this command
service mysqld status
It show this
● mysqld.service
Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory)
Active: inactive (dead)
when i run this command to start sql server
sudo service mysql start
It show this
Failed to start mysql.service: Unit mysql.service not found.
I Found solution of this.
First i copy the database frm files for backup.
Then i removed sql server completely.
Then i install sql server again.
after that i copy the frm files and paste in /var/lib/mysql
run command sudo chown -R mysql:mysql /var/lib/mysql.
And last restart the sql server with sudo service mysql restart
Console says
[root#ip-172-31-18-2 mysql]# service mysqld start
Starting mysqld (via systemctl): Job for mysqld.service failed because the control process exited with an error code. See "systemctl status mysqld.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

What I have tried until now:
mysqld_safe --defaults-file=/etc/my.cf
chown -R mysql:mysql /var/lib/mysql
/etc/init.d/mysqld start
/etc/init.d/mysqld stop
systemctl restart systemd-logind
rebooted the server
Still no luck.

/etc/init.d/mysql stop
service mysql stop
killall -KILL mysql mysqld_safe mysqld
/etc/init.d/mysql start
service mysql start
I had the same error, the problem was because I no longer had disk space.
to check the space run this:
$ df -h
Then delete some files that you didn't need.
After this commands:
service mysql start
systemctl status mysql.service
mysql -u root -p
After entering with the root password verify that the mysql service was active
I met this problem today, and fix it with bellowed steps.
1, Check the log file /var/log/mysqld.log
tail -f /var/log/mysqld.log
2017-03-14T07:06:53.374603Z 0 [ERROR] /usr/sbin/mysqld: Can't create/write to file '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid' (Errcode: 2 - No such file or directory)
2017-03-14T07:06:53.374614Z 0 [ERROR] Can't start server: can't create PID file: No such file or directory
The log says that there isn't a file or directory /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
2, Create the directory /var/run/mysqld
mkdir -p /var/run/mysqld/
3, Start the mysqld again service mysqld start, but still fail, check the log again /var/log/mysqld.log
2017-03-14T07:14:22.967667Z 0 [ERROR] /usr/sbin/mysqld: Can't create/write to file '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid' (Errcode: 13 - Permission denied)
2017-03-14T07:14:22.967678Z 0 [ERROR] Can't start server: can't create PID file: Permission denied
It saids permission denied.
4, Grant the permission to mysql
chown mysql.mysql /var/run/mysqld/
5, Restart the mysqld
# service mysqld restart
Restarting mysqld (via systemctl): [ OK ]
These are the steps I took to correct this:
Back up your my.cnf file in /etc/mysql and remove or rename it
sudo mv /etc/mysql/my.cnf /etc/mysql/my.cnf.bak
Remove the folder /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/ using
sudo rm -r /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/
Verify you don't have a my.cnf file stashed somewhere else (I did in my home dir!) or in /etc/alternatives/my.cnf use
sudo find / -name my.cnf
Now reinstall every thing
sudo apt purge mysql-server mysql-server-5.7 mysql-server-core-5.7
sudo apt install mysql-server
In case your syslog shows an error like "mysqld: Can't read dir of '/etc/mysql/conf.d/'" create a symbolic link:
sudo ln -s /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d /etc/mysql/conf.d
Then the service should be able to start with sudo service mysql start.
I hope it work
In my particular case, the error was appearing due to missing /var/log/mysql with mysql-server package 5.7.21-1 on Debian-based Linux distro. Having ran strace and sudo /usr/sbin/mysqld --daemonize --pid-file=/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid ( which is what the systemd service actually runs), it became apparent that the issue was due to this:
2019-01-01T09:09:22.102568Z 0 [ERROR] Could not open file '/var/log/mysql/error.log' for error logging: No such file or directory
I've recently removed contents of several directories in /var/log so it was no surprise. The solution was to create the directory and make it owned by mysql user as in
$ sudo mkdir /var/log/mysql
$ sudo chown -R mysql:mysql /var/log/mysql
Having done that I've happily logged in via sudo mysql -u root and greeted with the old and familiar mysql> prompt
if your problem not fix, you can try check more problem.
maybe mysql crash , like this :
you can check log in
sudo cat /var/log/mysql/error.log
or you check
sudo ls /var/crash
try
sudo chown mysql:mysql -R /var/lib/mysql
then start your mysql service
systemctl start mysqld

I was also facing same issue .
root#*******:/root >mysql -uroot -password

I found ROOT FS was also full and then I killed below lock session .

Finally Issue solved .
open my.cnf and copy the log-error path
then check the permission for the copied log file using
$ ls -l /var/log/mysql.log
if any log file permission may changed from mysql:mysql, please change the file permission to
$ chown -R mysql:mysql /var/log/mysql.log
then restart the mysql server
$ service mysql restart || systemctl restart mysqld
note: this kind of errors formed by the permission issues. all the mysql service start commands using the log file for writing the status of mysql. If the permission has been changed, the service can't be write anything into the log files. If it happens it will stopped to run the service
remove any command of "secure_file_priv" in /etc/mysql/my.cnf and restart mysql.
If you want to use a file in mysql, copy those files to the main folder.
The main folder is obtained this way : SHOW VARIABLES LIKE "secure_file_priv";
You can purge all mysql-related packages and reinstall them with the following commands:
PACKAGES="mysql-server mysql-community-server mysql-community-server-core mysql-client mysql-client mysql-community-client mysql-community-client-core mysql-common mysql-community-client-plugins php-mysql"
apt purge $PACKAGES
echo "any remaining installed packages:"
dpkg -l|grep ii|grep mysql
apt install --reinstall mysql-common
apt install $PACKAGES
If there are any remaining packages (apart from mysql-core), add those to your list
Backup your config or data and reinstall mysql
sudo apt remove --purge mysql-server
sudo apt purge mysql-server
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt autoclean
sudo apt remove dbconfig-mysql
sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql* -y
sudo apt-get autoremove -y
sudo apt-get autoclean
Then install it again.
That works here.
i have got the same "systemctl status mysql.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details. ERROR.
after repeated deinstallation and installation does not work at all.
but this one work well> https://linuxtut.com/en/5a5b0f46620ae1b27b10/
you just need to remove everything from my.cnf file except [mysqld] and start the server. this really work. but you might not have the password for root in that case skip-grant-tables and restart server in safe mode and use mysql and
update mysql.user set authentication_string=null where user='root' and then can alter user 'root'#'localhost' identified by 'your_$$new_99pwd#';
then login to secure mode and then you can create new user.
Also don't forget to check on your docker containers, for me it was my docker has mysql running on the background.
Connect to the server using SSH.
Stop the affected MySQL service and the service plesk-web-socket to prevent it from attempting to start MySQL:
service mysql stop || service mariadb stop && service plesk-web-socket stop
Back up all the MySQL data storage files. By default, they are located in the directory /var/lib/mysql/.
For example:
cp -a /var/lib/mysql /root/mysql_backup
Add the parameter innodb_force_recovery to the section [mysqld] of the MySQL configuration file. This option allows starting MySQL service in the recovery mode and try creating dumps of databases.
For example:
vi /etc/my.cnf
[mysqld]
innodb_force_recovery = 2
Start the MySQL service.
after having tested several solutions without success, the one that finally worked is the following:
you can load the default configuration of your apache server
sudo a2ensite 000-default.conf
sudo a2dissite my.conf
systemctl reload apache2
then reload the configuration for your website
sudo a2ensite my.conf
sudo a2dissite 000-default.conf
systemctl reload apache2
I had the same issue and after hours the solution was for me:
Open this file nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf
#I use mysql service if you use mysqld service, type mysqld instead of mysql
[mysql]
innodb_force_recovery = 1
Had the same problem. Solved as given below.
Use command :
sudo tail -f /var/log/messages|grep -i mysql
to check if SELinux policy is causing the issue. If so, first check if SELinux policy is enabled using command #sestatus. If it shows enabled, then disable it.
To disable:
# vi /etc/sysconfig/selinux
change 'SELINUX=enforcing' to 'SELINUX=disabled'
restart linux
check with sestatus and it should show "disabled"
Uninstall and reinstall mysql. It should be working.
I'm trying to use MySQL on Arch Linux. it is already installed but this error comes up when I try to connect:
connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2 "No such file or directory")'
I've looked for /etc/my.cfg but the file does not exist.
Something must have gone wrong during the installation.
How can I "purge" MariaDB and reinstall it?
If you're using archlinux it is a vital idea to understand the package manager (pacman). For the question about /etc/my.cfg you can run
pacman -Ql mariadb
there you will see that the file is actually called:
/etc/mysql/my.cnf
Arch linux will not configure the package for you, that is part of the arch philosophy. It will provide example configurations, and even provide you with a systemd unit file
usr/lib/systemd/system/mysqld.service
but it is your responsibility to ensure that the configuration is correct and actually start the daemon.
systemctl enable mysqld # add the unit file to the boot sequence
systemctl start mysqld # runs ExecStart= in the unit file
systemctl stop mysqld # kills the daemon
systemctl disable mysqld # remove unit from boot sequence
reinstall
Since the word reinstall is in the title of the question and someone might find this question thanks to that: To reinstall mariadb you simply do
pacman -S mariadb
pacman will reinstall a package that is already installed, there is no need to remove the package (for completeness, package removal happens with pacman -R)
as of 7-28-17 I had to do this on a new install. Newbie here might save someone some time. It was a real pain.
OK HERE IS THE DEAL!!!!!
INSTALL APACHE _ NO PROB
INSTALL MYSQL _PROBLEM
pacman -S mysql then before starting service
MUST UNCOMMENT INNODB IN:
nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf
then must initialize datadirectory before starting service:
mysql_install_db --user=mysql --basedir=/usr --datadir=/var/lib/mysql
You need to initialize the MariaDB data directory prior to starting
the service. This can be done with mysql_install_db command, e.g.:
mysql_install_db --user=mysql --basedir=/usr --datadir=/var/lib/mysql
Optional dependencies for mariadb
galera: for MariaDB cluster with Galera WSREP
perl-dbd-mysql: for mysqlhotcopy, mysql_convert_table_format and
mysql_setpermission
CNF file is /etc/mysql/my.cnf in Arch Linux.
One simple way I can reproduce your issue is when MariaDB is shut down. Sorry if it sounds dumb but as you did not mention it: is MariaDB started? sudo systemctl start mysqld.service
You should have a look at MariaDB logs to get some clue: journalctl _SYSTEMD_UNIT=mysqld.service (maybe paste some part if you still don't get what is going on).
This happens the first time you install MySQL and MariaDB. As grochmal pointed out, you have to set up configurations before first use. But, the user teckk sent these three links in the archlinux newbie corner:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/MariaDB
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/MariaDB#Reset_the_root_password
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=51981
In short, you have to run the command below before starting the service:
sudo mariadb-install-db --user=mysql --basedir=/usr --datadir=/var/lib/mysql
Optionally (recommended) you should improve the initial security by calling:
sudo mysql_secure_installation
Now you can start the service:
sudo systemctl start mariadb
Optionally, you could install and use a graphical front-end tool.
Carry on with setting up the configurations as described in the archwiki post on MariaDB Configuration.
I'm on Kubuntu 12.04, and after installing mysql via an apt-get (mysql ver: 5.5.35), i'm trying to start mysql service, but I got this error:
sudo service mysql start
start: Job failed to start
So I googled this problem, it says i have to go to the /var/log/mysql/error.log
But my error.log file is empty :(
Then I checked the permissions
:
drwxr-s--- 2 mysql adm 4096 Apr 7 11:21 mysql
-rw-r----- 1 mysql adm 0 Apr 7 11:21 error.log
So I don't know what to do... Why this error ? Why is the error file empty ?
First make a backup of your /var/lib/mysql/ directory just to be safe.
sudo mkdir /home/<your username>/mysql/
cd /var/lib/mysql/
sudo cp * /home/<your username>/mysql/ -R
Next purge MySQL (this will remove php5-mysql and phpmyadmin as well as a number of other libraries so be prepared to re-install some items after this.
sudo apt-get purge mysql-server-5.1 mysql-common
Remove the folder /etc/mysql/ and it's contents
sudo rm /etc/mysql/ -R
Next check that your old database files are still in /var/lib/mysql/ if they are not then copy them back in to the folder then chown root:root
(only run these if the files are no longer there)
sudo mkdir /var/lib/mysql/
sudo chown root:root /var/lib/mysql/ -R
cd ~/mysql/
sudo cp * /var/lib/mysql/ -R
Next install mysql server
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
Finally re-install any missing packages like phpmyadmin and php5-mysql.
My problem was running out of memory. Digital ocean has great instruction for adding swap memory for Ubuntu: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-add-swap-on-ubuntu-14-04
This solved the issue and enabled me to restart the Mysql that otherwise would not start.
Reinstallation will works because it will reset all the value to default. It is better to find what the real culprits (my.cnf editing mistake does happens, e.g. bad/outdated parameter suggestion during mysql tuning.)
Here is the mysql diagnosis if you suspect some value is wrong inside my.cnf : Run the mysqld to show you the results.
sudo -u mysql mysqld
Afterwards, fix all the my.cnf key error that pop out from the screen until mysqld startup successfully.
Then restart it using
sudo service mysql restart
In my case, it simply because the disk is full.
Just clear some disk space and restart and everything is fine.
In most cases, just purging the mysql-server package and re-installing it will do the job.
Run,
sudo apt-get purge mysql-server-5.1 mysql-common
followed by
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
This line did solve the issue in my case,
sudo apt clean
In my case, i do:
sudo nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf
search for bind names and IPs
remove the specific, and let only localhost 127.0.0.1 and the hostname
Check the file permissions, if edited
Fail:
$ sudo chmod 776 /etc/mysql/my.cnf
$ sudo service mysql restart
mysql stop/waiting
start: Job failed to start
Ok:
$ sudo chmod 774 /etc/mysql/my.cnf
$ sudo service mysql restart
stop: Unknown instance:
mysql start/running, process 9564
To help others who do not have a full disk to troubleshoot this problem, first inspect your error log (for me the path is given in my /etc/mysql/my.cnf file):
tail /var/log/mysql/error.log
My problem turned out to be a new IP address allocated after some network router reconfiguration, so I needed to change the bind-address variable.
In my case the problem was the /var/log disk full (check with df -h)
Just deleted some log files and mysql started, no big deal!
The given solution requires enough free HDD, the actual problem was the HDD memory shortage. So If you don't have an alternative server or free disk space, you need some other alternative.
I faced this error with my production server (Linode VPS) when I was running a bulk download into MySQL. Its not a proper solution but VERY QUICK FIX, which we often need in production to bring things UP FAST.
Resize our VPS Server to higher Hard Disk size
Start MySQL, it works.
Login to your MySQL instance and make appropriate adjustments that caused this error (e.g. remove some records, table, or take DB backup to your local machine that are not required at production, etc. After all you know, what caused this issue.)
Downgrade your VPS Server to previous package you was already using
In my case:
restart server
restart mysql
create .socket in directory
I had the same problem. But i discover that my hd is full.
$ sudo cat /var/log/upstart/mysql.log
/proc/self/fd/9: ERROR: The partition with /var/lib/mysql is too full!
So, I run
$ df -h
And I got the message
/dev/xvda1 7.8G 7.4G 0 100% /
Then I found out which folder was full by running the following command on the terminal
$ cd /var/www
$ for i in *; do echo $i; find $i |wc -l; done
This give me the number of files on each folder on /var/www. I logged into the folder with most files, and deleted some backup files, and i continued deleting useless files and cache files.
then I run $ sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start and it work again
How can i make mysql start every time the system boot ? I need that in a dedicated server(ubuntu distro) in which i have my blog, but every time the server goes down, on booting mysql is stopped.
Btw i can use only command line.
update-rc.d allows setting init script links on Ubuntu and Debian Linux systems to control what services are run by init when entering various runlevels. It should be able to add mysql to the list of services to run at boot:
sudo update-rc.d mysql defaults
If you later want to disable running mysql on bootup:
sudo update-rc.d mysql remove
You can do it by using sysv-rc-conf, on debian based you can install it with sudo apt-get install sysv-rc-conf
then you can choose what start at boot with a simple X on the name of the deamon, all via command line
Run the following command to see your mysql current status:
/sbin/chkconfig mysqld --list
it will return a line such as below:
mysqld 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off
to make mysql start every time the system boots, type the following:
sudo /sbin/chkconfig mysqld on
Result now from '--list' is:
mysqld 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
No answer helped. Finally chkconfig and update-rc.d did not work with MySQL on my machine.
Solution, I had a file /etc/init/mysql.override which contained
manual
i just deleted that file
$ sudo rm /etc/init/mysql.override
Deleting
/etc/init/mysql.override
did the job in my case (HostEurope VPS with Ubuntu 12.04)
I had the same problem, so I checked how I disabled it in the first place:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/138487/how-to-keep-apache-and-mysql-from-starting-automatically
Check your /etc/init/mysql.conf to make sure you don't have start on commented out (like I did).
# MySQL Service
description "MySQL Server"
author "Mario Limonciello <superm1#ubuntu.com>"
start on runlevel [2345]
stop on starting rc RUNLEVEL=[016]
...
Rebooted the machine and it works.
$ sudo service mysql status
mysql start/running, process 972
Use the chkconfig command as per the manpage http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/maverick/man8/chkconfig.8.html
Another place to look for clues as to what is and isn't starting at boot time...
/etc/init.d/.depend.start (and its buddy at shutdown time, .depend.stop)
Here's a little more info http://www.pyenet.co.nz/2-202-1-customising-system-startup-and-boot-processes/
I had 2 servers - after booting, 1 would have mysql running, the other not so much.
On the box where mysql was starting at boot time:
chkconfig wasn't even installed
there were zero links from any scripts in /etc/rc?.d/* back to /etc/init.d/mysql
BUT... /etc/init.d/.depend.start contained:
TARGETS = halt apache2 umountfs umountnfs.sh sendsigs networking umountroot reboot killprocs unattended-upgrades urandom mysql mdadm dns-clean landscape-client pppd-dns sysstat rsync sudo postfix single grub-common ondemand rc.local
INTERACTIVE = apache2
postfix: mysql
single: killprocs dns-clean pppd-dns
grub-common: apache2 unattended-upgrades postfix mysql mdadm dns-clean landscape-client pppd-dns sysstat rsync sudo
ondemand: apache2 unattended-upgrades postfix mysql mdadm dns-clean landscape-client pppd-dns sysstat rsync sudo
rc.local: apache2 unattended-upgrades postfix mysql mdadm dns-clean landscape-client pppd-dns sysstat rsync sudo
When I simply copied this file over to the problem server, and rebooted, mysql was up & running.
With Debian 9, I installed MySQL today and typed "reboot" and mysqld restarted automatically. Also rebooted from my VPS dashboard, mysqld restarted automatically. In short, if you have Debian 9, there's nothing extra to do, it just works.
