Whether MySQL is started

MySQL is a popular open source relational database management system that is widely used for website development, data analysis, and enterprise application management. In the process of using MySQL, you sometimes encounter the problem that it cannot start. This article will introduce some common phenomena of whether MySQL starts and their solutions to help readers better understand MySQL startup problems and quickly solve them.

1. Common phenomena of whether MySQL is started

1. MySQL cannot be started

When we enter the startup command "sudo service mysql start" or "sudo systemctl start mysql", if MySQL fails to start normally, the following phenomenon will occur:

• Displays an error message, usually about the inability to access some MySQL data files or the process being unable to start.
• Entering the "sudo service mysql status" or "sudo systemctl status mysql" command will show that MySQL is not running.
• The running MySQL process cannot be found using the "sudo netstat -tap | grep mysql" command.

2. MySQL has been started, but cannot be accessed

Sometimes MySQL has been started, but the following problems will occur when accessing MySQL:

• Entering "http://localhost/phpmyadmin" or "http://127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin" in the browser cannot open the phpMyAdmin web page.
• After entering the MySQL console, the user name and password entered are incorrect or a connection timeout error message appears.

2. Reasons why MySQL cannot start and solutions

1. Data file damage

MySQL uses specific data files to store database information , if these files appear damaged, MySQL cannot start. You can try to solve the problem by:

• Check the MySQL log file to find the most recent error message and fix it.
• Run the "sudo mysqlcheck --repair --databases DB_NAME" command to repair the database.
• If none of the above methods can fix the problem, you can try to back up the MySQL data files and reinstall MySQL.

2. Insufficient disk space

If the disk space is too low while MySQL is running, MySQL will not be able to start. You can solve the problem by:

• Clean up excess files and free up disk space.
• If your MySQL data files are located in a specific partition, you can try to redistribute the partition size or transfer the data files to another disk partition.

3. MySQL process is blocked

If the MySQL process is blocked, it will not start. You can try the following methods to solve the problem:

• Check whether the MySQL process is already running. You can use the "sudo netstat -tap | grep mysql" command to check.
• If the MySQL process is already running, you can try to kill the related process by running the "sudo pkill mysql" command.

3. Reasons and solutions why MySQL has been started but cannot be accessed

1. MySQL user name or password is incorrect

When accessing MySQL , if the entered username or password is incorrect, access will be disabled. You can solve the problem by the following methods:

• Confirm that the username and password you entered are correct, including uppercase and lowercase letters.
• If you do not remember the MySQL administrator username and password, you can try to reinstall MySQL or reset the administrator password.

2. Firewall interception

Sometimes, the firewall may intercept MySQL requests, resulting in the inability to access MySQL normally. You can solve the problem by the following methods:

• Confirm whether the MySQL port is a valid open port, usually 3306.
• Check the firewall rules to make sure access to the MySQL port is allowed. You can use the "sudo ufw allow mysql" command to open the MySQL port.
