Then "systemctl start mysqld" (or "systemctl start mysql") should start it (not sure which is appropriate). The journal does indicate a problem with mysqld.service, however. There should be a logfile that indicates the problem. Have a look at the /etc/my.cnf file (or possibly one of the files in /etc/my.cnf.d) and look for a "log-error" directive. That should indicate where MySQL is logging errors. Have a look at that file and see if there's anything obvious. You didn't mention if you did an SELinux AVC search (you could use the sealert tool to look). Since you're using the community MySQL and not MariaDB, there may be a gotcha in the SELinux policy they didn't catch (it happens). You could also try: sudo setenforce 0 systemctl start mysql[d] If mysql starts after the "setenforce 0" (which sets SELinux into permissive mode), then you have an SELinux policy problem and you'll need to do the AVC search to find and squash it. I don't recommend you continue running in permissive mode. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Never eat anything larger than your head - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
