MySQL Job failed to start

Question

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 servi

Answer 1

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
