MySQL isn't starting on a server that I'm working on. When I checked the log, it shows the following: I have nothing else to go on, can somebody give me a hand?
I don't know if what i will tell you will help you, but i ran into a similar problem with apache sometime. In my case, apache didn't start, even though nothing bad was written in the error log. I noticed the problem would appear only when i started apache after working some time on my computer. So the problem in my case was Skype . When Skype was open, it blocked the port 80, which apache also uses. This generated a conflict and apache didn't start. When i closed skype, things returned back to normal. I am not sure if this is an answer to your question, but if you have some apps requiring network connections try to disable them and see what happens.
I had this issue and fixed it. I first observed the open logical ports and associated processes. Use this command : netstat -an |find /i "listening" .Then killed the processes respectively. If the required port is available for mysql it'll be working.
Yeah that was the problem, I figured it out later that day. The owner of the box installed some new software and it was fighting mysql for the same port. Took about 6 hours to narrow down the problem lol
