Answer 1

Nothing was working with reinstalls, removes, and others (I had no data to keep, not a fix; more of a data destruction process, big caveat there):

1005  mysql_install_db
1007  /usr/bin/mysqld_safe --datadir='/var/lib/mysql
1008  /usr/bin/mysqld_safe --datadir='/var/lib/mysql' (^z)
1009  bg
1010  mysql
1011  mysql_secure_installation
1012  mysql
1013  mysql -p

And viola; actually usable database.

Answer 2

Although late but putting answer here so that solution that helped me can help someone. I took following steps:

1. Added more RAM to sever
2. Decrease the value of innodb-buffer-pool size
3. Set innodb_log_file_size
4. Restart mysql

Example of addition to my.cnf:

innodb_buffer_pool_size = 10M
innodb_log_file_size = 1000M

Answer 3

This is frequently occurred issue. Do following -

1. delete/move out these "aria_log_contro, ib_logfile0, ib_logfile1, ib_data1" files from location "..\xampp\mysql\data" and also from "..\xampp\mysql\backup".
2. stop and start apache server and mysql form xampp control panel

This should fix the issue; actually it worked for me.

Answer 4

I fixed this issue by following:

• Login to server via SSH with root access.
• Navigate to /var/lib/mysql.
• If you see log files like, ib_logfile0 and ib_logfile1, rename or move them to some other folder.
• Stop and start the MySQL service by running sudo service mysql stop and sudo service mysql start

I hope this helps. Thanks

Answer 5

Changing the values of innodb_buffer_pool_size and innodb_log_file_size didn't work for me.

Moving ib_logfile0 and ib_logfile1 files didn't help either.

What did help was:

> service mysql stop

Edit my.cfg and add innodb_force_recovery = 1

> service mysql start
> service mysql stop

Comment the innodb_force_recovery = 1 line.

> service mysql start

And voilá. (I should note that I have no idea if this involves any data loss or not)

Answer 6

I have the same problems, this my solution:

1. Add more RAM to the server

2. Decrease the value of innodb-buffer-pool size in the config file:

   sudo nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf

   innodb_buffer_pool_size = 10M
   

After save /etc/mysql/my.cnf.

Restart mysql service:

sudo service mysql restart

exit
