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.

!includedir /etc/mysql/conf.d/
!includedir /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/
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
This amazingly worked.
/etc/init.d/mysql stop
service mysql stop
killall -KILL mysql mysqld_safe mysqld
/etc/init.d/mysql start
service mysql start
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 ]
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
sestatus
and it should show "disabled"Uninstall and reinstall mysql. It should be working.
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
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";
I was also facing same issue .
root@*******:/root >mysql -uroot -password
mysql: [Warning] Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure. ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
I found ROOT FS was also full and then I killed below lock session .
root@**********:/var/lib/mysql >ls -ltr
total 0
-rw------- 1 mysql mysql 0 Sep 9 06:41 mysql.sock.lock
Finally Issue solved .
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
try
sudo chown mysql:mysql -R /var/lib/mysql
then start your mysql service
systemctl start mysqld
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
