Answer 3

RE: MySQL Daemon Failed to Start - centos 6 / RHEL 6

1. Yum Install MySQL

2. /etc/init.d/mysqld start MySQL Daemon failed to start. Starting mysqld: [FAILED]

3. Review The log: /var/log/mysqld.log

4. You might get this error: [ERROR] Can't open the mysql.plugin table. Please run mysql_upgrade to create it.

Solution that works for me is running this:

5. $ mysql_install_db

Please let me know if this won't solve your issue.

Answer 4

try

netstat -a -t -n | grep 3306 

to see any one listening to the 3306 port then kill it

I was having this problem for 2 days. Trying out the solutions posted on forums I accidentally ran into a situation where my log was getting this error

check that you do not already have another mysqld process

Answer 5

1. /etc/init.d/mysql stop
2. chown -R mysql:mysql /var/lib/mysql
3. mysql_install_db
4. /etc/init.d/mysql start

All this rescued my MySQL server!

Answer 6

I just had this error. I could not connect remotely to my mysql server. I tried restarting mysql server with service mysqld restart (I used root). It stopped but did not start again. Turns out my memory was full. Cleared out a few GBs and it is working fine.
