1067 error on attempt to start MySQL

Question

I\'ve installed MySQL on Windows 7. When I\'m trying to start MySQL service I\'m getting error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly. Log message:

101111         


        

Answer 1

The solution was to install MySQL without spaces in installation path. Windows 7, 64-bit

Answer 2

I had a problem changing the datadir in my.ini for Windows 7.

I wanted the data to be stored on a different drive and I was moving this data from another PC by copying the whole folder. I changed datadir to desired drive and saved the my.ini file with no problems.

But mysql would not start. I opened my.ini file again and it appeared to have been changed. Then, I noticed the date on the my.ini had not changed. So I had to change the security privileges to give me write access to it.

This time when I saved it, the date changed and mysql started up access to all the correct data.

If you are trying to run MySql on a Windows 10 installation with a GPT partition, please try this:

Todays systems are often running on a disk which is formatted in GPT. This is because Windows 10 needs such a partition to be installed. The problem is that MySql cant deal with this partition style and so it crashes. Here is my workaround:

• Create a virtual disk: manual here
• Format this VHD with MBR
• Install MySql custom on your new VHD (dont forget to create a user for DB)

This should be it! :)

Answer 4

In my case, I have unzipped XAMPP ina a second disk on my installation, "F". When I tried to start as a service, the return was "1067". The solution was to edit my.ini, inserting the "f:" drive in the files lines. It solved the problem.

Answer 5

Experienced the same error, below is the reason and solution that worked for me for mysql-5.7.14-winx64

reason: DATA folder to have some default folders and files which were missing

solution: delete everything from DATA folder, i assume its a fresh installation so backup anything that you need if at all. Then run this from the command prompt and it will create required files and folders "mysqld --initialize --console" now run "mysqld" and it should work well.

In my case, in order to delete a heavy schema from mysql server, just went to C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7\Data and deleted relevant folder. But it was not being deleted because mysqld.exe was preventing it. so I stopped mysqld.exe, deleted the folder and then all the schemas went disappeared from the list in mysql workbench. No matter how much I tried to restart mysql service, it didnt unless I restored that folder from junk. Hope it helps someone who tried the same shortcut as I did.
