mysql not starting
comzeradd send me an e-mail about a mysql service not starting in a server we administer. I started taking a look around…nothing seemed suspicious.
I tried uninstalling and re-installing mysql-server-5.0 a few times and I always got this kind of output from apt-get:
Stopping MySQL database server: mysqld.
Starting MySQL database server: mysqld . . . . . . . . . . . . . . failed!
invoke-rc.d: initscript mysql, action “start” failed.
dpkg: error processing mysql-server-5.0 (–configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
mysql-server-5.0
